Ingredients You’ll Need
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!

- Garlic: for tons of flavor
- Carrots: for color and a nice sweetness
- Celery: a classic soup ingredient
- No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes: I only use no added salt diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on! And they have 10 mg of sodium per serving, making it a great way to add tomatoes with a low sodium content.
- Italian Seasoning Blend: usually has thyme, basil, rosemary, parsley, etc. Make sure you get a no-salt-added variety.
- No Salt Vegetable Stock or Bouillon
- Bay Leaves
- Potatoes: I used basic yellow potatoes, but you could use red or even sweet potatoes instead.
- Spinach: use fresh or frozen!
- Squeeze of lemon juice
Other Optional Add-Ins
- Green beans – fresh or frozen green beans would be delicious in this soup
- Bell pepper strips
- White beans or black beans
- Fresh parsley or fresh basil to garnish
- Add frozen peas or corn

Love all the veggies
Made it tonite. Loved it. Is a serving 1 up?
Hello Jane, the serving size is 1/8 of the recipe, or roughly 2 cups. It will depend on the size of the noodles and the size of the vegetables you use, so I would recommend dividing the recipe into 8ths. Please let me know how it turns out if you made it!

How much is a serving? I love the recipe, but cooking for a stage 4 kidney disease patient, I can’t afford to guess.
Hi Melanie, great question. It would be difficult to give an exact serving size based on your ingredients, but I estimate 8 servings is about 2 cups each for a single serving. It really depends on the size of the noodles you use (12 ounces of egg noodles can be different across brands, or vary even more if you use another type of pasta), so I would calculate exact nutrients in the ingredients you use in your kitchen so you know for sure. Since the total recipe is 8 servings each, I would start by dividing it into 2-cup portions to make 8 portions. If you have more or less, then you can adjust the nutrition content accordingly. I hope that helps!

A warm comforting bowl of goodness
To reduce carbs, remove noodles and potatoes? I’m on a liver friendly diet.
I have some questions:
Is the one cup of chopped spinach fresh or frozen? I have never cooked salt-free before. Is it easy to find the tomatoes and the Vegetable stock as no salt added? Thanks so much.
Hello Jenean,
I used fresh spinach, but frozen works equally as well. And yes, finding no-salt-added tomatoes and vegetable stock is easy to find in most large grocery stores – make sure you check the sodium content in the labels to make sure it aligns with your daily dietary needs. Let me know how this soup turns out!
