Tips for flavorful vegetable soups

One of the best ways to get the most flavor out of vegetables is to roast them. Roasting carrots is easy. Simple cut them into even chunks, toss with olive oil and salt, then roast. You’ll get so much more flavor from roasting the carrots rather than simply boiling them.

Another tip for flavorful soup is to use vegetable or chicken stock in place of water for the liquid. You can use vegetable stock if you want to keep this soup vegan.

Of course you can! Before freezing, let the soup completely cool. Once cool, transfer the soup into individual-serving or family-serving sized freezer-safe containers and freeze. If you are using freezer safe bags, lay them flat and freeze until solid.
