Step 2: Customize your soup

Vegan

Use vegetable broth, or make miso broth: mix 8 cups water with ½ cup organic red miso paste. Miso is salty, so salt to taste the soup at the end of cooking.

Keto

Replace olive oil with MCT oil or coconut oil. Coconut oil contains MTC (medium chain triglycerides) which help induce ketosis.

Paleo

Make soup with chicken broth or bone broth. Since the oven is on anyway, roast a few bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. Place on the baking sheet with onions. Cool, discard fat and shred meat from bones. Stir into the soup at the end.
