And I’m not shy about adding whatever else I want.

I had never heard of doing such a thing and thought it was a brilliant move.

Ive taken this little trick and modified other creamy soups with it.

It really brightens the soup, so whatever you do hey dont skip it!

I love usingBragg Apple Cider Vinegarbecause it uses organic apples and is unfiltered and unpasteurized.

(If youre curious about why this is important, you canread about it here.)

My second ishomemade chicken stock.

I can never go back to using the store-bought stuff because homemade is so much better and budget-friendly.

And to make my soup go further, I will add an extra cup or two of stock.

Have I convinced you to try it?

I hope that itll become a tried-and-true dinner at your house like it has become at mine.
