  • Extra Creaminess: Blend in a small amount of cottage cheese or plain Greek yogurt after cooking for a creamier texture.
  • Lower Sodium: Use no-salt-added broth and season gradually to taste.
  • Smooth Texture: Blend thoroughly for a silky soup or leave slightly chunky for more texture.
  • Brighten Flavour: Add extra lemon juice just before serving for a fresher finish.
  • Storage Friendly: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
