Substitutions For Low Calorie Frozen Vegetable Soup

Here are the substitutions I recommend for this easy frozen vegetable soup recipe. Remember when you make substitutions it will change the nutritional data from what you see in the recipe card below.

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Any oil you enjoy may be substituted.
  • Vegetable Broth - I used low sodium vegetable broth for this recipe. You can use vegetable stock too, or chicken broth, turkey broth, chicken stock or turkey stock. I do not recommend using beef broth or stock as it will alter the flavor too much.
  • Frozen Vegetables - Any of the frozen vegetable mixes can be swapped in this recipe for other ones. This recipe is very versatile and you can really use any variety of vegetables and it will turn out enjoyable. Find vegetables you enjoy!
  • Crushed Tomatoes - You can substitute canned whole tomatoes or diced tomatoes. You can also omit the tomatoes if you like.
  • Vinegar - You can omit the balsamic vinegar is you want, but the vinegar does add a unique layer of flavor to the soup.
  • Bay Leaves - I don't recommend leaving these out as it adds a ton of flavor to the recipe.
  • Seasonings - You can add, change or omit seasonings to your preferences. This recipe is super versatile! If you follow this general recipe though, the Italian seasoning is one I don't recommend swapping unless you replace it with the individual seasonings included in Italian seasoning.
  • Add Protein - This vegetable soup recipe is deficient in protein so you will need to add protein on the side to balance this for a full meal. You can also add protein to this recipe like tofu, tempeh, shrimp, cod, salmon, clams, chicken, ground turkey, lean ground beef, ground chicken could all be easily added to the recipe.
