Notes
- Make sure to dice all the vegetables uniformly so they cook evenly.
- Bacon is a great alternative to pancetta if you cannot find it.
- If you do not have chicken broth, you can use vegetable broth.
- To store: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To reheat: Reheat the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot.
- To freeze: Freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Make sure you leave space when freezing as liquid expands as it freezes.
