What are some substitutions I can make?

Veggies: This is a very versatile recipe. You can swap out some vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes for carrots. The soup is very forgiving. Feel free to add more/different vegetables to this soup, but it may alter its taste of it!

Broth: Any broth or stock (broth and stock are the same) can be used in any soup recipe. Beef BrothChicken Broth, or vegetable broth all work interchangeably. I always use low or no-salt broth.

Spices: Feel free to add more or less of any of the spices to your taste.

    Your Nutrition Facts panel says
    Amount Per Serving
    Calories 112
    Calories from Fat 9

    but doesn’t give the serving size that these amounts apply to, as nutrition facts panels usually or always do. So how big is a “serving”?
