MY NOTES


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bake the soup in a Dutch oven instead of using the stovetop?
Absolutely! We recommend baking your soups to get the best flavors, and the longer you bake – the better the soup will come out. Ideally, you want to bake the soup for 4-5 hours in a 300 °F (150 °C) oven. If you want to speed things up, bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 90 minutes.
