  • Use a variety of vegetables: This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Add in whatever you have on hand, such as carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, or potatoes.
  • Use a flavorful broth: A flavorful broth will make all the difference in this soup. Use a chicken or vegetable broth that is packed with flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt: A dollop of sour cream or yogurt will add a creamy richness to the soup.
