Gut-Healing Chicken Soup

My stomach was feeling all gurgly and bubbly the other day so I whipped up this soup and it turned out SO YUMMY. The garam masala gives it a little bit of a curry/indian flavor but trust me, it pairs deliciously with everything! I made it for my whole family and even my picky brother loved it!

If you're ever craving some soup, your tummy is hurting, or you just want to try this out, give it a go!!
