Tips
Blend the soup while hot for the smoothest winter texture, but work in batches if needed for safety.
If the soup feels too thick, add a splash of warm broth until it reaches your preferred cozy consistency.
Let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving, the flavors deepen as it cools slightly.
