Expert Tips for Fall Harvest Vegetable Soup Recipe

• Chop all your veggies roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
• Don’t rush the sautéing step it builds flavor.
• If you like a thicker soup, mash a few potato chunks against the pot’s side before serving.
• This soup tastes even better the next day once the flavors meld.
• For a protein boost, add cooked beans or shredded chicken just before serving.

Storage and Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave. If it thickens too much, stir in a splash of broth or water to loosen it up. You can also freeze portions for up to 3 months—just thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.
