For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the celery, onion, carrots, and leek in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients. Feel free to customize the soup with your favorite vegetables. Zucchini, green beans, or spinach would all be excellent additions. For a heartier soup, add cooked chicken or sausage. To make this soup vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of tomato-vegetable juice cocktail. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
