Simple Chicken Soup… with Hearts

chicken-soup-with-hearts

This soup is the simplest soup ever.

I think.

And that is why I love it so immensely and cook it regularly and gladly.

To make the whole soup-making process a little more exciting, I sometimes cut the vegetables into little heart shapes.

Which totally makes my day.

Try it too, it’s fun…
