It's finally under 100!!! Fall has arrived. It's sweater and boots time! Yeehaw! Just kidding BUT it really is time to chow down on some serious comfort food! I don't know about you but I feel that there is nothing as comforting as a bowl of macaroni and cheese or a bowl of soup.
Why not make both as one? I love being able to share this recipe for Macaroni & Cheese Soup. It's really easy and you can even add chicken, ground turkey or ground beef to take it up an extra notch.
