Tips:

  • Chop your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you put too many vegetables in the pot, they won't cook evenly. Leave some space between the vegetables so they can cook properly.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Vegetable soup is best served hot. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
