Safety Warning: Be extremely careful when blending hot liquids. Remove the center cap of the blender lid and cover with a towel to allow steam to escape while holding the lid securely.
Make Ahead: This soup can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Cool completely before covering and refrigerating. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
Texture Tip: If you prefer a completely smooth soup, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. For a rustic texture, skip the straining step.
