For a richer flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch of flavor. Add a pinch of chili flakes to the tomato mixture for a subtle kick. Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots, peas, or zucchini for a more substantial soup.
