For a richer flavor, consider adding a bay leaf during the cooking process and removing it before serving. Adjust the amount of vegetable broth to achieve your desired soup consistency. For a thicker soup, use slightly less broth. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as spinach or kale, added during the last few minutes of cooking. This soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
