"When you've been away for a bit, there is nothing like coming back home... and to a hot, home-cooked meal. Welcome yourself back to your most favorite place with a steaming bowl (or two) of Homesick Soup. It's filled with veggies tenderly simmered in a rich, creamy broth loaded with shredded, savory chicken and fluffy white rice. Homesick Soup will fit the bill for that much-needed savory hug from home. There's no place like home!..."
