Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
  • Tip 2: This soup freezes well! Portion it out in freezer-safe bags and enjoy later.
  • Tip 3: Consider serving it with a fresh salad for a light meal or a grilled cheese sandwich for a classic pairing.
  • Tip 4: If you’d like, you can mix in some cooked chicken or beans to make it more filling.
  • Tip 5: Experiment with different herbs and spices to change the flavor profile. Try adding a little paprika or cayenne for some heat.
