Notes

Feel free to adjust lemon juice as per your taste. If you like your soup to be on a tangy side add few extra drops of lemon juice to it.
This soup tastes best when served immediately. However, it can be refrigerated for 1-2 days. Juts warm it up nicely before serving.

Variation: For oil free version skip the oil and sauteing. Just boil the vegetable broth and add all the ingredients until done. The vegetables should be soft but chewy.
