Notes

Customization Tips:
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables! Here's how to adjust cooking times:
  • Bok choy & leeks – Add with onions and carrots for a flavorful base.
  • Zucchini & kale – Stir in during the last 5–7 minutes to soften without becoming mushy.
  • Spinach – Add at the very end, just before serving, as it wilts quickly.
  • Adjust seasoning as needed and make this soup your own! 😊
