Notes
- To serve with pasta or egg noodles, cook the pasta or noodles separately so they don't get too mushy. Add to individual serving bowls and ladle the soup over.
- To make this soup in the slow cooker, after sauteeing the vegetables transfer everything to the crock pot and cook four about 3-4 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low.
- Place in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for up to four days. To freeze, transfer the cooled soup into a freezer-safe container (or individual serving size containers) and freeze for up to 3 months.
