Recipe Notes

Makes 3 cups of soup in total. Note that this will depend on how much your soup cooks down/how long you simmer it – total amount can vary. If you make this in bulk, I suggest you measure the total amount it makes at the end and then divide it by the number of servings you should get to know how much to serve yourself.
