Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vinegar or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can simmer it longer to reduce the broth or add a tablespoon of tomato paste during cooking. Adjust seasoning to taste, as different brands of broth can vary in saltiness.
