  • Add Veggies at the Right Time: Different vegetables have different cooking times, so add them to the pot in order of their hardness. Heartier vegetables like carrots and potatoes should be added first, followed by softer vegetables like zucchini and spinach.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in the soup to your liking. Taste the soup at various stages of the cooking process and add more spices or herbs as needed.
