If you don't have any fresh basil on hand, use 1 teaspoon of dried basil instead. Add it to the soup at the same time as the garlic and onion.
To make your soup a little more spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also add a teaspoon of chili powder or cumin for a smoky flavor.
If you want to add some vegetables to your soup, try adding diced carrots, celery, or zucchini. You can also add a handful of spinach or kale at the end of cooking.
