A trip to the Midwest would not be complete without a down-home kind of soup. Iowa Soup is a hearty addition and comfort food at its finest; shredded savory chicken, mixed crisp veggies, tender potatoes, and so, so much melty cheese, all deliciously combined in a pretty downright tasty bowl. Almost like a chicken pot pie without the pie, Iowa Soup is farm-fresh with great taste!
