Shredded chicken, black beans, corn, tomatoes, and spices simmered to perfection will make a wonderful Chicken Tortilla Soup. Top with crispy tortilla strips, avocado, and a squeeze of lime for a Southwestern flair.

New England Clam Chowder
Creamy and hearty chowder with tender clams, potatoes, onions, and smoky bacon are the main ingredients of a good New England Clam Chowder. Serve in a bread bowl or two-handled soup bowl for the ultimate comfort experience.

Cream of Broccoli Soup
Velvety smooth soup made with fresh broccoli, onions, garlic, and cream is the backbone for this yummy and thick cream of broccoli soup. Garnish with cheddar cheese for an extra layer of richness.
TIP: Not a good idea to freeze this soup since dairy doesn’t freeze well.
pasta e faglioli Soup
The hearty Pasta d Fablioli soup with a mix of vegetables, beans, pasta, and a savory tomato broth is by far one of my favorites. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for a finishing touch is by far my favorite soup. Tender pinto beans in a rich and creamy broth and herbs are added to round out the sophisticated Italian meal.
