Notes

If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to puree the soup in batches. Just be careful when blending hot liquids, as they can expand and cause the blender lid to pop off.
You can use either chicken or vegetable broth in this recipe, depending on your preference.
For a lighter version of this soup, you can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream. However, the soup will not be as creamy and rich.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2-3 months. To reheat, simply warm the soup on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
