Notes

For a heartier soup, consider adding cooked sausage or shredded chicken. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian version. Adjust the seasoning to your preference, and if you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and tends to taste even better as the flavors meld.
