Be sure to try my easy sausage tortellini soup recipe next!
This soup is so perfect for Fall and Winter, and easy to double and freeze for an easy, protein-packed lunch. Nothing beats the convenience of some thoughtful meal prep, my freezer is loaded with my favorite soups for the upcoming chilly season, and I couldn’t be happier about it.
Using Homemade Chicken Stock
Whenever you make homemade soup, I highly suggest using homemade chicken stock. I promise, your cooking will taste ten times better. Remember that you can always freeze leftover chicken carcass/meat and make chicken stock on a day when you have time! No defrosting necessary!
Freezing Leftovers
This soup is excellent for freezing since it doesn’t contain a creamy broth.
Spinach Substitutes
Feel free to toss in some fresh kale, green beans, or Bok Choy (Asian cabbage), instead of spinach if preferred.
Ground Turkey Substitutes
Ground beef or sausage are also similar meats that are great in this soup. You can even do a combination of several meats. For ultimate convenience, you could dice up a rotisserie chicken as well.
