Absolutely LOVE this recipe and make it often! When I’m not making it on a “healthy” night, or if I need a one-pot meal, I’ve added some hot Italian sausage before sautéing the vegetables…equally as delicious, just different.
I love that the flavor is coming from the vegetables instead of a bunch of seasonings. Really a natural soup.
Simple to pull together, ingredients that I usually have on hand. Absolutely comforting
A simple, quick to come together soup with pantry ingredients. I added 1/2 a bulb of chopped fennel and a teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Super yummy and straight forward.
