Recipe View 2 mins Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Crusty bread is excellent for dipping.

For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable broth or chicken broth.
If you don't have an immersion blender, a regular blender works just as well, but be very careful when blending hot liquids. Vent the lid of the blender to allow steam to escape.
To make this soup vegan, ensure your broth is vegetable-based and omit the Parmesan cheese.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
