Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons! With the warm soups, hot chocolates, cozy clothes and watching the leaves change colors. It’s just so perfect; the other day I went on a run and was so amazed and grateful at how beautiful the trail looked with all the colorful leaves. Since it is starting to get chilly in South Carolina, I was in the mood for a creamy soup. The contexture and flavor of this soup is perfect; my husband who tends to be picky also enjoyed it.
