  7. Remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  8. Finish by stirring in the chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor.
  9. Ladle into bowls, serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

Taste as you go to adjust seasoning. Add more vegetable broth if the soup feels too thick. Fresh parsley at the end adds brightness.
