Soup on a Fall day is the perfect thing. Tomorrow I’ll be serving two of my favorites–White Chicken Chili and Hearty Hodgpodge Soup, a Lewis family favorite. My daughter in Orem made a pot tonight too. It’s that time of year. Below are the recipes.

2 cubed chicken breasts (add a bit of bullion and an onion for flavor)
