Hearty Vegetable Soup with Herb Toasts

Serving: Ladle the hearty vegetable soup into bowls and top with the crispy herb toasts. You can also sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness.

Storage: Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free bread for the herb toasts to make the soup gluten-free.
