Recipe Tips
For a heartier soup, add 1 cup of cooked pasta or 1/2 cup of cooked rice. This is also a great recipe for meal prepping. Make a big batch and freeze individual portions for a quick and easy meal.
For a spicy twist, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings. You can also add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of dried parsley. You can also use other fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano.
