Notes
For a thicker soup, add less liquid or cook the vegetables longer to reduce the liquid before blending.
You can also use an upright blender if you don’t have an immersion blender. Just make sure to blend in small batches and be careful of hot liquids.
To make this soup vegan, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream.
This soup can also be made in advance and stored in the fridge for a few days or frozen for future use. Just reheat on the stovetop when ready to serve.
