Recipe Notes

Substitute in your favourite veggies for a personalized flavour.  Serve with fresh sourdough bread.

For more protein, add in some cooked chicken, beef or turkey pieces.

If you don't have stock, you can use water, but add in extra spices like dried parsley, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.  

If you like a spicier soup, add in some red chilli flakes!
