- Smooth Texture: If you’re wanting to get a smooth texture, you can use an immersion blender and blend up the soup, this would blend in the veggies and allow the flavor to remain.
- Thicker: Add potatoes and blend for a thicker soup. Or if you want something with less carbs, you can add cauliflower and blend. Simply add the potatoes or cauliflower and let simmer in the soup until softened. Use an immersion blender to blend up and create a smooth, thick texture to the soup.
- Beer: My preference when making this for my family (which includes children) is to use a pilsner, this is a nice light option that doesn’t impart a heavy flavoring. Avoid hoppy beers as this can create a bitter flavor in the broth.
- Leftovers: store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
