  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also adjust the amount of turmeric to your liking.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of yogurt.
