Stir in the garlic and cook for 15 seconds then add the chipotle sauce, granulated garlic, granulated onion, Italian seasoning, and chili powder. Cook for a few seconds.
Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, cook for 20 minutes to bring out all the flavors and make the carrots tender.
Add all of the remaining ingredients and cook for 10-15 minutes or until all of the veggies are crisp-tender. Season the soup with lots of Kosher salt and pepper.
- If you don’t have chipotle sauce on hand, add hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes for a kick!- Feel free to omit or swap the veggies for another you have on hand.
