Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes, this soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Q: What kind of broth do you recommend?
A: Chicken broth is used in this recipe, but vegetable broth would also work well for a vegetarian option. Using a high-quality broth will enhance the overall flavor of the soup.
