Notes

To store leftover soup, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove over low heat. For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of broth and water. Feel free to add extra vegetables, such as spinach or mushrooms, for added nutrition and flavor.
