Fall is officially soup season in our townhouse — and this one has become my comfort meal on repeat.
It’s cozy, rich, super nourishing, and smells like home. 🍂

Here’s my Fall Favorite Chicken Soup:

Broth base
	•	32 oz water
	•	1 whole onion (peel + drop in)
	•	1 garlic clove, minced
	•	Salt to taste
	•	2 skinless chicken breasts
	•	4 skinless chicken thighs (bone-in)

Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 60 mins
(I usually do ~2 hours because I love a richer flavor.)

After simmering, add:
	•	1 bunch cilantro (I leave it whole so it’s easy to remove)

Then add:
	•	2 large potatoes, chopped (20–25 mins)

Next add:
	•	4 pieces of corn on the cob (another 20–25 mins)

Lastly:
	•	½ yellow zucchini
	•	½ green zucchini
	•	½ cup baby carrots
	•	½ cup broccoli
(Cook 15–20 mins until veggies soften.)

Serve with:
	•	Lime juice
	•	Avocado slices
	•	Queso fresco
	•	Optional but recommended: a scoop of white jasmine rice 🍚

It’s simple, cozy, nourishing, and honestly tastes like a hug in a bowl.

If you make it, tag me — I want to see your bowl. 🤍

What this doesn’t show you is that we had to haul most of this brick into our yard from about 200 feet away since it was given to us. It may not seem like much but when it’s this much brick, it feels grueling.

Home decor is no easy feat, or at least for me it’s not anyway. However, the longer I put interest in refreshing our space, the more I feel the creative part of me begins to envision where I’d like my design to go. 
.
It’s funny because originally, the things that inspired me are showing up completely different in our home but that’s ok. Perhaps, it’s because I’m working mostly with what we already have and a lot thrifted pieces (under $50 if possible).

A whole lot of painting will be happening very soon. So, we’ll see how that goes! But I will be very happy to share the process as it happens.

Painting, repairs and rearranging heavy furniture and equipment is really the bulk of the work in the background. But even so, with all that work involved; it’s worth it.
