Notes

Feel free to substitute the cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version or use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option. This soup is great for meal prep; it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Before reheating leftovers, gently warm on the stovetop while stirring to maintain the creamy consistency, adding broth or milk if needed. Enjoy your soup with crusty bread or a light salad to complement the flavors!
