Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth if possible. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. This soup pairs well with crusty bread, and for a vegan version, simply omit the Parmesan cheese or replace it with a vegan cheese substitute. Adjust seasonings to taste and feel free to add additional vegetables or herbs for variety.
