Steamy Vegetable White Bean Soup Anyone?

My husband loves coming home to warm food regardless of the weather. He always says that warm food takes away the tiredness he feels from work. They just warm him up all over and that makes him feel more relaxed and worry-free. Warm meals like soup are his stress reliever. You can see the contentment on his face whenever he eats anything warm. This soup recipe is one of his favorites.

 

And this pretty soup is pretty much perfect! It’s so flavorful you almost don’t need any meat on it. It’s up to you if you want this to be a pure vegetable soup or you can add meat for more flavor.
