Vegetable soup is a common soup prepared using a combination of vegetables and often served as a starter or a main course. It is typically made by simmering a variety of vegetables in a broth or water until they are tender, and it may include ingredients such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes. The soup can be seasoned with herbs and spices, and it may also contain meat, grains, or legumes for added flavor and nutrition. Vegetable soup is known for its versatility, as it can be adapted to include seasonal or locally available vegetables. In Hebrew, vegetable soup is called "מרק ירקות" (marak yarkot). In Spanish, it is referred to as "sopa de verduras," and in French, it is known as "soupe de légumes." This type of soup is popular worldwide and is often associated with comfort food due to its hearty and nourishing qualities.
