What is one pot soup?
A one pot soup is a type of soup that is cooked using just one pot or pan. The ingredients are typically added in stages, with the vegetables being cooked first and protein added later. The soup is then simmered until the ingredients are fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.
This type of soup is convenient to make as it requires minimal clean up and can be made in a variety of different ways depending on the ingredients used. Some popular vegan one pot soup recipes include minestrone, lentil soup, and chicken and vegetable soup.
