I hope you all had a wonderful and happy Christmas! We did indeed; it was great to catch up with family and play games, share food, and simply enjoy one another’s company.

The chips perfect it, and it’s also kind of fun to dip them in the soup. While it’s more of a warming and comforting winter meal, I think [...]
