Use herbs. This is one of the simplest ways to garnish a soup, yet it looks fabulous and it adds an extra element of taste. For example:
Use chopped parsley on tomato, vegetable, creamy and seafood style soups.
Use snipped chives on many different types of soups. Remember that this will add an onion flavor, so be sure it will enhance the soup.
Sprinkle a bit of chopped dill over creamy or seafood soups. Dill is a very strong taste, and it's not to everyone's liking, so be sparing with it.
Add some hand-ripped mint to fresh soups and Asian-inspired soups. The refreshing taste of mint will give the soup quite a lift.
Fresh sprigs of coriander/cilantro go well with Asian/Central and South American style soups. Coriander has quite a strong taste when it's fresh, so check that it's to everyone's liking.
