Recipe View Serve immediately, garnished with a swirl of cream or a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

For a vegan variation, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Finish with a plant-based cream or cashew cream.
To freeze, allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer bag. Do not add the cream until reheating. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before gently reheating on the stovetop and stirring in the cream.
A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth and complexity to the soup's flavor profile.
