Notes

  • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if needed to loosen the soup.
  • Garnish each bowl with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added richness and brightness.
  • Don't skip the step of sautéing the aromatics (onion, carrots, celery); this builds a flavorful base for the entire soup.
