Sarah Says
It is totally acceptable to use dried herbs instead of fresh.
However, the flavor is much better with fresh herbs.
I prefer to use more veggies (closer to a cup of celery and more tomatoes) to make my soup thicker
(the first time I made it to the ingredients, it came out a bit thinner than I like).
I suggest taking out the liquid prior to pureeing.
You can also add some back if it’s too thick for your liking.
My favorite is to make this with grilled cheese sandwiches!
