Shakshuka Chili Soup

Remember the other day when I made Shakshuka and I mentioned that you should make a double batch of the (simple-to-make) sauce because I had other ideas for how to use it? Well, if you missed it, go pop over and introduce yourself to the deliciousness that is Shakshuka. Double the sauce recipe. Then use some of the sauce to make this soup. Because it will warm your bones and tingle your taste buds and make you feel all happy inside.

Well, it did that for me anyway. I  have heard the words “dangerously cold wind chills”  along with below zero temperatures altogether too many times this winter. I’m grateful for the sunny spot in the week when it gets up to 30 something, but then it plunges right back down.

It takes a lot of good soup to combat THAT kind of winter.
