This is a great base soup. The flavors are all quite mild making it simple to add other ingredients without having to worry about tastes clashing. One could easily add other seasonings and vegetables, or any variety of meat; beef, chicken, turkey, or ham. There are so many possibilities! It is also nice as it is topped with herb croutons.
