On the other hand, if you don’t have it and you need it, it only takes a minute or two to make your own and you get to decide exactly what’s in it.

What is in the Italian Seasoning?
Italian seasoning is a blend of dried Italian-inspired herbs such as basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. Exact ingredients and quantities vary by brand.
What is a good substitute for Italian seasoning?
When in doubt, you can mix equal parts of all or some of basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. If you don’t have them all, don’t worry about it. Use the ones you have.
What is the difference between Italian seasoning and Herbs de Provence?
In addition to most or all of the Italian seasoning herbs (basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, and thyme), Herbs de Provence also includes lavender, sage leaves, and savory.

Thanks for your recipe, Meggan;
I looked at a few on the net and like yours the best.
We are hoping to make a good batch from our herb garden for Christmas gifts this year.
Peace

Wow! Thank you so much Dave! I hope everyone loves them. :D -Meggan
My husband is allergic to basil is there a replacement for that or should we just leave that out? I usually find sauce without it.
Sorry for the delay in my reply, I’d just leave it out! Thanks! -Meggan
Since oregano and marjoram are just slightly different and I don’t have marjoram at hand, can I leave it out?
Hi Stacey, yes, just leave it out! I’ll add that to the recipe notes. Thanks.
Great soup! Easy to make with minimal ingredients. I added some Bacon pieces, parsley, and some smoked paprika as well as the oregano and sour cream! Great flavors. Thanks.
This is a great hack, and thanks for the clarification on herbs de province.
