Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a dash of red pepper flakes for a slight kick, or a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors. If you prefer a thicker soup, blend a portion of the soup and stir it back into the pot. Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving, and remember that the flavors develop even more if the soup is made ahead of time.
