Cooking Tips

• For a richer flavor, you can sauté the vegetables in butter instead of olive oil.
• If you prefer a chunkier soup, reserve some cooked vegetables before pureeing and add them back to the soup after blending.
• Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding herbs like thyme, basil, or parsley, or spices like cumin or paprika.
• To make the soup even creamier, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Serve the soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
