For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of vegetable broth or water. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. A pinch of smoked paprika can also add depth of flavor. If using an immersion blender, be careful to avoid splashing hot soup. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
