Alternative Ingredients and Serving Suggestions

The beauty of any soup is how customisable they are. I always recommend taking a peek into the vegetable drawer in your fridge and freezer and throwing anything else in you think would work. This soup would taste fantastic with some spinach, peas or any root veg. If you want to bulk the soup out a little bit, you can add some cooked pasta or rice to the mix.
