Hearty Chicken Soup

It’s been so cold in MD lately, I made a crockpot of soup this past week! I’m so thankful I did!!!!!! It’s a super healthy recipe and tastes amazing! I was able to make bone broth from the chicken I roasted Sunday and used it for broth! It felt very wholesome and made me so happy I wanted to share with you!
