Tips:

- Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will give the soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good vegetables to use include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, parsnips, and turnips.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A few well-chosen herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of your soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic, and black pepper.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can puree some of the vegetables before adding them to the soup pot. You can also add a thickening agent, such as flour or cornstarch, to the soup.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
