Techniques: blending, simmering, sautéing
This soup comes together quickly and easily, making it perfect for weeknight dinners. The key to its silky texture is properly blending the cooked ingredients until completely smooth.
For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream. To make this soup completely vegetarian, simply use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
