For a richer flavor, sauté the onion in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding the other vegetables. Experiment with adding other vegetables such as carrots or spinach to create your own unique variation. Adjust the amount of reserved stock to achieve your preferred soup thickness. For a thicker soup, use less stock; for a thinner soup, add more. This soup is delicious served hot or cold.
