Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can use water instead, but the soup will not be as flavorful.
- Add some herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, and bay leaves.
- Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to make the soup more filling and satisfying.
