FAQs

Absolutely! Frozen veggies work great in this recipe. Just add them in during the last few minutes of cooking until heated through.

While ginger adds a wonderful warmth, you can skip it if you don’t have it on hand. The soup will still be delicious without it!
3. Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Yes, you can make it ahead! Just keep in mind that the veggies may soften a bit more when reheating, but the flavor will still be fantastic.
