For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before serving. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some texture. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy note, or a splash of apple cider vinegar for brightness. This soup freezes beautifully. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to airtight containers and freezing for up to 3 months. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of it with an immersion blender or in a regular blender (be careful when blending hot liquids) and then stir it back into the pot. Add smoked paprika to boost the smoky taste.
