Recipe Tips

To make this soup ahead of time, prepare the soup as directed and then let it cool to room temperature. Transfer the soup to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to serve, simply reheat the soup in a pot over low heat until warmed through. For a creamier soup, you can add more heavy cream or even sour cream to the soup after blending. Just be sure to adjust the seasoning accordingly. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to blend the soup in batches. Just be sure to let the soup cool slightly before transferring to the blender, and be careful when blending hot liquids to avoid any accidents.
