Notes
Note: If you don't have a non-stick pan make sure to constantly stir while bringing to a boil; otherwise it will burn to the bottom.
Tip: If you're making this for dinner and want to prep ahead, make the soup on the stove and immediately transfer to a crockpot setting on low/warm for the day until you're ready to eat.
