My Goodness Soup
What's great about it
This is a wholesome nourishing soup that I love to make when I need extra goodness for my body. It's very economical and fuss free to make and I always cook up extra to last several meals. I love the simplicity of the ingredients and the light touch of star anise just makes this soup purely magical on the taste buds.
