Notes

Feel free to get creative with your vegetable choices! You can add whatever you have on hand. For a thicker soup, blend a portion of it before adding the cream. If you like a little spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes! This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
