For a richer flavor, use smoked paprika in addition to thyme. Smoked turkey sausage or andouille sausage make great substitutions for the smoked sausage. Crushed tomatoes with garlic, onion, or basil add an extra layer of flavor. Adjust the amount of water depending on your preferred soup consistency. Add a splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end to brighten the flavors.
