To enhance the flavor, use more vegetables: onions, carrots, celery. Fry them over low heat until soft. This will give the broth depth and richness.

At the end, add fresh herbs: parsley, dill, cilantro. It will give the soup freshness and completeness.

Serve the soup hot to enjoy its rich flavor.

Now you know the secret to a delicious soup. Use these cooking tricks and you will understand how flavorful and rich this simple dish can be.
