Recipes FAQ

Can I use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth?

Yes, you can use chicken broth if you prefer. However, this will make the soup non-vegetarian.

Can I freeze this soup?

Can I use bottled orange juice instead of freshly squeezed?

Yes, you can use bottled orange juice if you don't have fresh oranges on hand. However, fresh orange juice will give the soup a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
