Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
Can I make this soup vegan?
Yes, use olive oil instead of butter, a plant-based cream, and vegetable broth.
Should I blend the whole soup?
It's a matter of preference; blending partially keeps some texture while blending fully gives a smooth, velvety soup.
