Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a bay leaf to the soup while it simmers, and remove it before serving. You can also customize this soup by adding other seasonal vegetables or beans for added protein. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added burst of freshness.
