- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Notes
This soup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For a heartier version, add cooked pasta or white beans toward the end of simmering.
Fresh herbs like basil or oregano can be added for extra flavor.
Serve with crusty bread or a sprinkle of Parmesan for a rustic touch.
