Tips You Should Be Mindful Of!
- Customize the Vegetables: Swap out any veggies based on availability or preference. Sweet potatoes, squash, or peas make excellent additions.
- Blending Option: Blending half the soup adds a creamy texture while keeping it hearty. If you prefer a chunkier soup, skip this step.
- Herb Boost: For a more robust flavor, add a pinch of dried oregano or basil along with fresh herbs.
- Lemon Brightness: Stirring in fresh lemon juice at the end adds a refreshing, tangy twist. Adjust the amount to taste.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of broth if it thickens.
