• If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can skip the blending step and leave the soup as is.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.

• Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Serve the Tomato Florentine Soup with a side of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a complete meal.
