For a richer flavor, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding the other ingredients. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as smoked paprika, coriander, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat. This soup can be easily made vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The soup may thicken upon cooling; simply add a little water or broth when reheating.
