Tips for Making Vegetarian Soup

Use a good broth: Vegetable broth adds lots of flavor, so choose one you enjoy. I like using low-sodium broth so I can control the salt.
Add beans or lentils: They’re an easy way to make vegetarian soups more filling and to add protein and fiber.
Use what you have: Most vegetable soups are flexible. You can swap vegetables depending on what’s in your fridge.
Make extra: Many of these soups taste even better the next day, making them perfect for meal prep.
Freeze leftovers: Broth-based soups usually freeze well. The texture of Soups with pasta or dairy may change after thawing.
