Notes
- *Nutrition information calculated without optional toppings.
- Parmesan rinds are the outer edges of a parmesan cheese wheel. You can often find them at the deli for a low cost, and they store well in the freezer. If you're cutting a rind from fresh parmesan, simply freeze it for later use. If rinds aren't available, a sprinkle of fresh parmesan before serving works just as well.
- The recipe makes about 12 cups of soup.
