SERVING IDEAS

This soup is a meal in itself, but you can always add a side dish! I like... - Green or Caesar salad - Roasted broccoli or green beans - Crusty bread

CAN I MAKE THIS RECIPE VEGAN?

Sure! For a vegan version, just leave out the Parmesan cheese. You can use a vegan alternative or add a dash of nutritional yeast at the end for that 'cheesy' flavor.

TIP!

Any time you buy Parmesan, don't throw those rinds away! Just save them in a bag, freeze them, and throw them into soup!
