Notes
Tip: If you prefer a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency.
For a cooler soup, chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. You can also add diced tomatoes or chopped jalapeños on top for extra flavor and texture.
If you’re looking for a vegan option, ensure to use vegetable broth. This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; just give it a good stir before serving as it may thicken over time.
