Notes
Keeps 3-4 days in the fridge or can be frozen for later.
Make a large batch for meal prep.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for brightness.
Stir in lean protein like chicken, turkey, or lentils for a heartier soup.
Add fresh herbs like dill or thyme for extra flavor.
For creaminess, swirl in a spoonful of fat-free Greek yogurt before serving.
