Notes
- *Substitute mushroom broth or vegetable broth if preferred.
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, store the soup in portions in your freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight when ready to use.
- To reheat, warm it on the stove over medium heat until hot, stirring occasionally. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave. Heat it in a microwave-safe container, stirring occasionally, and continue heating until it's thoroughly warmed.
