FAQs
Q: Can I make any of these soups on the stovetop instead of using a crockpot?
A: Yes, you can make any of these soups on the stovetop by following the same ingredients and instructions, but reduce the cooking time to about 30-45 minutes or until vegetables are tender enough.
Q: Can I substitute different vegetables in the soup recipes?
A: Absolutely! If you don’t have certain vegetables on hand or want to switch things up, feel free to use whatever veggies you prefer or have in your fridge. Just keep in mind that some adjustments may need to be made regarding cook time and liquid amounts.
Q: Can I freeze these soups for later use?
A: Yes, all of these soup recipes can be frozen for later use. Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it into an airtight container or freezer bag and store it in the freezer for up to three months. To reheat, thaw overnight in refrigerator and then heat gently over low heat until heated through while stirring occasionally as necessary.
