• Simmer, Don’t Boil: Gently simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
• Blend for Smoothness: For an ultra-creamy texture, use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender.
• Garnish with Flair: Elevate your presentation with a dollop of crème fraîche, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a drizzle of olive oil.
