For a richer flavor, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of milk. If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after simmering. Be careful not to over-blend, as you still want to retain some of the chunky texture. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil), or a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
