Note

I know lots of you are plant-based. Well, good news for you! You can skip the chicken and swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth and boom, you’ve got yourself a veggie and protein-packed soup! You can always add some tofu or a legume such as garbanzo beans if you are looking to up the protein even more.

Can you Freeze this Soup?

To freeze this soup, let it cool. Then, transfer it into a freezer-safe gallon-size bag or container. Remove as much air as possible and then seal. Freeze for up to 3 months.

To thaw, remove from freezer and let sit in the fridge overnight. Once thawed (or almost thawed), place contents into a large stockpot and turn heat to medium/high. Bring to a boil and then turn off heat and enjoy.
