Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth if available. This soup can be made a day ahead, as the flavors deepen over time, and it is ideal for freezing in portions for easy meals later. Optional additions like spinach or kale can enhance the nutritional value and texture of the soup.
