Notes
- Variations: You can add other vegetables like carrots or celery for added depth of flavor. Spices like nutmeg, cumin, or thyme can also be used to enhance the taste.
- Texture: Adjust the soup's thickness by adding more broth for a thinner consistency or simmering longer for a thicker soup.
- Creaminess: For a creamier texture, you can stir in a bit of heavy cream, coconut milk, or sour cream just before serving.
- Toppings: Get creative with toppings like croutons, grated cheese, or a drizzle of truffle oil for an extra special touch.
- Storage: Leftover soup can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a little extra broth or water if needed.
- Allergies: If you have dietary restrictions, make sure to use a suitable broth (e.g., vegetable for vegetarian/vegan) and check ingredient labels for allergens.
