As we prepare for the colder days, we are looking forward to one of our fall favorites: soup! While there are many different ways to prepare soup, we prefer a heartier, indulgent soup to brighten those long November nights.

Cozy up to a big bowl DairyGood.org’s Cheesy Broccoli Potato Soup tonight. Perfection.
