You can adjust the ingredients based on what's available, such as adding zucchini or cauliflower. Add a teaspoon of tomato paste during cooking for a richer flavor.
Experiment with adding turmeric, cumin, or paprika for a different flavor. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for a creamy taste.
For storage, let the soup cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. Reheat gently over low heat to retain its flavor and texture. Vegetable soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
