Aaah, it’s soup season!! To me, there’s nothing better than a bowl of warm homemade soup to begin a meal, or even BE the meal. I’m making different batches of soup lately, eating a bowl and freezing the rest in 1 serving sized containers. That way, whenever I need a lunch, or a dinner – I have plenty to choose from and don’t get sick of eating an entire batch of one soup.

This soup is warm and comforting, but is really bright too with the addition of the lemon. Using fresh thyme is key (in my opinion), but i’m sure dried would work JUST FINE. Hope you like it as much as we did! NOTE: This can be made vegan by using plain almond milk instead of the regular milk, and by using vegetable broth.
