Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor and add a bit of color to the soup.
Use a good quality broth. A homemade broth is ideal, but you can also use a store-bought broth if you're short on time.
Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
Garnish the soup with fresh herbs before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
