Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Ensure there's enough liquid; add more broth or water if needed.

Recipe View 6. Adjust and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.

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.
