For a richer flavor, consider adding a Parmesan cheese rind to the soup while it simmers. Remove the rind before serving. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables. Green beans, kale, or potatoes would all be delicious additions. If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can use a combination of dried oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. For a vegetarian or vegan version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Dec 30, 2024I made a big batch of this soup and froze some for later. It freezes really well and tastes just as good when reheated.
