NOTES:

  • I halve the jalapeno and chili amounts when I make this soup. My kids love it as then it’s not spicy, but Brett and I still get to enjoy the delicious flavours. We also sub-out the cheese for a dairy free cheese or nothing at all for our daughter. Enjoy!
  • There are huge BENEFITS to consuming Bone Broth – Check out my Bone Broth Blog Post here! 

Cheers & much love,
