Note

Storage: This soup tastes even better the next day. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Substitutions: Ensure your Worcestershire sauce is vegan-friendly as traditional versions contain anchovies. You can omit it or use a vegan alternative.

Tip: If you prefer a completely smooth texture, blend the entire pot of soup. For a chunkier texture, blend only a small portion.

Variation: Add a ham hock during cooking for a non-vegan version, or add a splash of vegetable broth for extra depth.
