A Note About the Seasonings in this Soup

Using italian Seasoning is a HACK to make it easier. If you don ’ t have Poultry Seasoning italian Seasoning is a flavorful substitute .
I ’ ve ALWAYS used italian Seasonings for my Chicken Soups, and to be honest my beans soups excessively. The sage, rosemary, marjoram, and a few other herb work absolutely in MANY soup recipes. It ’ s sol much easier to reach for one bottle than a kind of bottles .
You can ALSO use a poultry seasoning mix, it ’ randomness about the same thing. But it doesn ’ t have any oregano in it FYI !
And if you don ’ t have italian Seasoning on hand then use sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary, or ANY tasty combination of those herbs .
AND ALWAYS add your favored herb and spices to soup, if you like it add it ! ! And sample and compensate for YOUR preference !

You can ALSO use a poultry seasoning mix, it’s about the same thing. But it doesn’t have any oregano in it FYI!
