Author Notes

This soup is a simple, every-day, freeze-it-down, have on hand, soup. I add what I like and encourage you to do the same! —nycnomad

Wait, what! What is the point of an ingredient list....? This recipe leaves out the amounts for the spinach, peas, zucchini! Poor form, really embarrassing for the author.

Sometimes things get overlooked when typing and cooking. The truth is that I never measure when I cook. I just add ingredients until it looks or tastes right. As for embarrassing, no not at all. When you're in the moment you're in the moment.
