  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
  • Season your soup well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Let your soup simmer for at least an hour: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
