Notes
Allow any leftover soup to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave when ready to eat. For a bit of spice, use spicy Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes. Feel free to add other vegetables, like carrots or celery, for more texture and flavor.
