Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in a pot/pan over a low heat until piping hot or in the microwave.
To Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
Tip 1: When putting hot soup in a blender, be sure to leave space at the top and/or a towel-covered hole for heat to release.
Tip 2: This is a great recipe to batch make so you have some extra ready to go. You can even use an extra-large ice tray to freeze individual servings.
Tip 3: You can plump up this delicious soup with some other vegetables or fruits. Apples, pears, carrots, or potatoes are all great options.
