For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth and vegetable base for beef broth and beef base. Freshly squeezed lemon juice or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese can be added just before serving to brighten the flavors. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for spice. Feel free to add other vegetables you enjoy, such as carrots or potatoes. If you don't have dried minced onion, you can substitute with 1/4 cup of fresh minced onion, added with the celery and onion.
