From Katie: I created this recipe the other day, and each serving is a hearty bowl of soup. I tried to eat a little less than 2 servings for lunch yesterday, to finish off the leftovers, and I felt stuffed and couldn't quite finish it. All the spice and herb measurements are approximate, I would recommend adjusting to taste once it's all cooked together. I hope you enjoy!
