Green herbs
The best ones are parsley, dill, basil and green onions, they can give the soup a bright and fresh taste.
They can be added to the water before cooking so that the aroma and flavor permeates the entire liquid. You can also use whole sprigs of herbs when serving.

Carrots, celery, onions and parsnips are a base that can add rich flavor and aroma to the soup.
Simply chop them into large chunks and add them to the water so they release their flavor as they cook. This step will create the basis for a rich, deep flavor.
Herbs and spices
Adding various herbs and spices to the soup water can turn it into a real culinary masterpiece. You can try using:
