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 cook the veggies first, which takes 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 broth: Using a good quality vegetable broth will add a lot of flavor to the soup.

Add more vegetables: You can also add vegetables of your choice, like sweet corn, bell pepper, zucchini, and bok choy. 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.
Umami Flavor: To get a nice umami flavor, add soy sauce or tamari.
Add Noodles: Add cooked rice noodles to the soup to make it filling.
