Tips to Make the Best Veg Clear Soup
Use fresh ingredients: Make sure to use fresh veggies to get the best flavors to the soup. Don’t overcook the vegetables: Make sure to first cook the veggies that take a longer time to cook, followed by fast-cooking veggies. So they are tender but not mushy and also help to give texture to the soup. Add the lemon juice at the end: Always add lemon juice after turning off the flame otherwise, it will turn bitter. Use vegetable stock: Using a good quality vegetable stock will add a lot of flavor to the soup.

Also, fresh herbs like thyme, parsley, and rosemary make it a healthy and flavorful soup. Add protein: Adding some cubed tofu, seitan is a great way to include plant-based protein in your diet. Make it spicy: Add some extra finely chopped green chilies, jalapenos, red chili sauce, or sriracha sauce to the soup to make it spicy.
