Winter, the season of cosy blankets and warm soups, is finally here. Just like us, even our furry little ones, can enjoy a different variety of meals to drool for. 

So let’s try and surprise our fur babies with a warm and light soup? This recipe is also super-easy to make because who is not lazy during winters?

Before we begin, remember! Just like human appetisers, this recipe is NOT a replacement for your dog’s homemade dog food or kibble diet. It should not be fed as a regular or main meal for your dog as it is not well balanced.
