Notes: 

Always buy organic when possible. Note, that in this recipe, the following foods are on the EWG Dirty Dozen list:

• Spinach

• Potatoes

Brown rice pasta holds together better in soup than corn pasta or quinoa.

This soup freezes very well! This is a large batch, so consider freezing individual portions.

Chop the veggies the same size for even cooking, soup will cook faster if you chop smaller!
