Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Fresh vegetables can add a great texture and taste to your soup. Just remember to chop them into small pieces and add them a bit earlier in the cooking process to ensure they are tender by the time the soup is ready.

What can I serve with the soup?

This soup pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. Some favorites include crusty bread, grilled cheeses, or a simple green salad. You can even serve it with your favorite crackers for a satisfying crunch.

How should I store leftovers?

Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Just remember to reheat thoroughly when you’re ready to enjoy again!

Can I make this soup ahead of time?

Yes, this soup can easily be made ahead. In fact, the flavors often deepen and improve after sitting for a day. Just heat it up on the stove or in the microwave before serving.

Is this soup healthy?

This soup can be a healthy meal choice, especially if you load it with vegetables and use low-sodium soup and broth options. Just be mindful of your portion sizes and add sides that are balanced to make it even more nutritious.
