Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
- No fresh garlic? Use 3/8 teaspoon garlic powder in place of the 3 minced cloves.
- No dried basil or thyme? Use 2 teaspoons fresh basil and 2 teaspoons fresh thyme in place of each dried teaspoon amount.
Storing it
Store cooled soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove until steaming hot.
Making it ahead
The soup can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept in the fridge; flavors deepen as it sits, so reheat gently before serving.
