3. Add the Broth and Seasonings:

  • Pour the vegetable or chicken broth into the pot, stirring well to combine with the vegetables.
  • Add the dried thyme and dried oregano to the pot, stirring to distribute the herbs evenly.
  • Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
