Cook’s Note ***Note: You can interchange different frozen vegetables , however if you use frozen peas, it changes the flavor to more of a sweetness and isn't recommend.***Note: you can easily change this to a completely Vegan or Vegetarian soup by replacing the chicken broth to a Vegetable Broth or a Vegetarian Chicken Broth alternative. And replacing the milk to a non-dairy alternative that suits your dietary needs. I Made It Print
