A symphony of flavors is the best way to describe this warm, heart comfort food soup. On the one hand, there’s the meatiness from the cooked chicken, chicken stock, and fried bacon. On the other hand, we have veggie goodness from onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms, yellow squash, green beans, and Swiss chard. Season it to perfection and add some red wine vinegar for a sour touch.
