This soup is chock-full of vegetables and sure to hit the spot on a chilly evening. The recipe calls for all fresh vegetables and herbs, but you could use frozen carrots and green beans if you’d like; they’ll probably require less cooking time, so adjust accordingly. And in place of fresh thyme sprigs, you can use 1 teaspoon dried thyme. You can easily make the soup vegan by substituting vegetable stock for chicken stock.
