Tips:

- Make sure to chop the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.

- Use fresh thyme and parsley for the best flavor. Dried herbs can be used in a pinch, but fresh herbs elevate the taste.

- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup once all the vegetables are cooked.

- Adjust the seasoning to your taste before serving. A little extra salt and pepper can make a big difference.

- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken gravy used or let the soup simmer longer to allow the liquid to evaporate.

- Serve with a sprinkle of grated parmesan on top for an extra burst of flavor.
