Notes

Garnish Ideas: This soup is delicious topped with freshly cracked black pepper, torn basil leaves, or a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Fresh Carrots Work Too: If pre-shredded carrots aren't available at the store, simply use 2 medium carrots and dice them—they work just as well.
Onion Swap: Yellow onion can be used in place of white onion if that's what's on hand. Yellow onions will add a touch of sweetness to the soup.
