Southwestern Chicken & Vegetable Soup

Soup season is my favorite, and I enjoy soup for breakfast when it’s cold outside. This is an easy soup with a lot of flavor and comes together very quickly. It’s also adaptable for food sensitivities- the beans can easily be left out and not affect the taste. This soup would be great for a busy weeknight meal and something the whole family can enjoy.
