1. Sauté the Aromatics:
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add the Vegetables and Turmeric:
Add the carrot, celery, and mushrooms (if using) to the pot.
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and stir well to coat the vegetables.
3. Simmer the Soup:
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Season and Add Lemon:
Stir in the soy sauce or tamari, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and add the lemon or lime juice for a burst of freshness.
5. Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve warm with crusty bread or over cooked rice or noodles for a heartier meal.
