For a richer flavor, consider sautéing the celery and carrots in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding them to the pot. A ham hock or smoked turkey leg can be added during the simmering process for a more traditional flavor. Remove the meat before serving and shred it into the soup. Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
