For a richer flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences or what's in season. Zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach would be excellent additions. The basil sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before stirring into the soup. For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan Parmesan alternative.
