For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken stock. If you prefer a smoother soup, purée the entire batch. For a chunkier texture, purée less of the soup or none at all. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle warmth to the soup. Garnish with a dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for added flavor and visual appeal.
