For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or diced potatoes. Add them along with the onions in step 1. For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the nutmeg and cloves. The soup will thicken as it sits. If it becomes too thick, add a little more broth or water to thin it out. This soup freezes beautifully. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
