I am always trying to think of quick and easy meals to have on Tuesday and Thursday evenings since I do not get home from class until 7:30 and this was the perfect meal. I chopped all my veggies and cooked the chicken on Monday night so all I had to do was throw everything into the pot and cook it. This turned out wonderful and I will definitely have to make it again.

This looks soooooo good! I'm so happy you ventured into the soup world b/c this looks amazingly yummy. :)
My husband has to have lots of "goodies" in his soup too. He sounds a lot like your husband!
This looks fantastic! Great job, Amber!
Amber - this post is hilarious bc I did the same exact thing last night. Made a soup with whatever was in the kitchen - ended up with ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, garlic/onion, chickpeas, potatos and carrots. Randomness tastes awesome!
My husband doesn't really like soup either, and he definitely picks the chunks out whenever I make it. This soup looks yummy!
I've got an actual recipe that is somewhat like this and I love it! I think I'll be making this for dinner tonight. Thanks!
i feel the same way! i love soup and DH hates it b/c he says it isn't very filling... i am trying to convince him otherwise still :)
feel for you. My husband is the same way... he thinks soup is an OK side or appetizer, but not a meal. Your soup looks delicious, though.
Yum! I love tortellini!
