Notes

If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes while sautéing the vegetables. For a creamier texture, add a splash of coconut milk or cream when blending the soup. Feel free to throw in any extra veggies you have in your fridge like spinach or kale for added nutrition.
