Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and meat will give your rivel soup the best flavor. If you can, buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in your rivel soup should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and flavorless.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Use a homemade stock if you have time, or a good quality store-bought stock.
- Season the soup to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your soup until it tastes just the way you like it.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
