Notes
You may add more or less spices or different spices to the vegetable based on your preference.
Instead of Italian seasoning, you can try dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, dried rosemary, etc.
If you want to add some protein to this soup, you can add shredded chicken or beef.
Frozen vegetables are perfect for this recipe as you can get a variety of vegetables without having to buy them individually.
If you'd like to make this in the slow cooker, keep in mind that the longer it cooks, the softer the vegetables will become. Ingredients like the potatoes may breakdown too much.
