Notes

  • Pasta: If you plan to have leftovers, cook the pasta on the side and add to each bowl before serving. Store the pasta separately. 
  • If you’ve cooked the pasta in the soup and want to store or freeze leftovers, strain the broth into a separate container. Storing or freezing the “goodies” and the broth separately ensures the pasta doesn’t become mushy by soaking up the broth.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. 
  • * If using leftover cooked vegetables, add during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
