I like to make this soup with half stock and half water—this way I get the flavor and nutrients from the stock without completely depleting my freezer supply of homemade stock! Feel free to add extra fresh herbs at the end of cooking time. Oregano, fresh thyme, and basil are delicious additions. Serve with grain-free Herbed Focaccia Bread or with gluten-free Rosemary Sea Salt Breadsticks.
