  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables to the pot, make sure there is enough space for them to cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: The vegetables should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. If the vegetables are overcooked, they will become mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for a bit of extra flavor.
