Notes
For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of cream or coconut milk in the last few minutes of cooking.
To bulk up the soup, consider adding cooked pasta or beans for extra heartiness.
Grilled cheese croutons make a delightful topping. Simply cut leftover grilled cheese into cubes and toast until crispy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage.
Fresh herbs like basil or parsley added as a garnish can enhance both the flavor and presentation of the soup.
