Notes

Variations:
  • Vegetable broth works as a substitute, but chicken broth will give the soup more flavor.
  • Feel free to use your favorite veggies! You can swap some out or add extras like spinach, kale, bell peppers, mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, or even diced sweet potatoes.
  • Looking to add protein? Toss in chicken breasts, cooked ground beef, or ground turkey at the start of the cooking time. You can also mix in beans, like cannellini, for a hearty boost.
  • Frozen vegetables are a great option too!
Serving ideas to make the soup less boring later in the week:
  • Add a couple of dashes of hot sauce such as Tabasco or Tapatio.
  • Stir in leftover rice or quinoa.
  • Add a couple dashes of Parmesan.
  • Serve with a few saltine crackers or oyster crackers.
  • Stir in a touch of pesto.
Other notes:
  • Five days is the max I would keep this soup in the fridge. If you want to store longer consider freezing.
  • You can freeze this soup, but of course, the texture may change a bit when thawed.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave or you can reheat in a saucepan on the stove.
