Tipps

Use Fresh Stock

If possible, use homemade, fresh vegetable stock for a depth and richness of flavor. Pre-packaged broth can contain ingredients, like vinegar and tomato paste, that may cause histamine issues.

Immersion Blender vs Regular Blender

An immersion blender can make pureeing the soup much easier and quicker. But if you don't have one, you can use a regular blender. Just make sure to let the soup cool a bit before blending to avoid accidents.

Adjust Seasonings

This recipe is very flexible. Feel free to adjust the thyme, salt, and pepper to your liking.

Storing Leftovers

This soup stores well in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days. It also freezes well. Just be sure to cool the soup fully before transferring it to an airtight container for storage.
