Notes
This soup is best served with a slice of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich. That way, you have something to dip in.
If you like it spicier, add a dash of red pepper flakes.
You can also swap heavy cream for coconut milk if you're dairy-free. The flavor will be a bit different, but still tasty.
Make extra if you have a big crowd. This soup can easily be doubled and it’s even better the next day.
Enjoy the simple joy of homemade goodness! 🍽️
