Morphology
The sense 'a rich, nourishing soup' is directly and predictably built from 'hearty' (satisfying, nourishing) modifying 'broth' (a thin soup), so a learner who knows both words can infer the combined meaning. This adjective+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic descriptive pattern and therefore should be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The compound hearty broth creates a clear picture: a warm, strong soup made by simmering meat, bones, and vegetables for hours until the liquid is full and filling. So hearty (full and strong) plus broth (the cooked liquid) explains why the phrase means a 'rich' and 'nourishing' soup.
