Notes

  • 231 calories per serve if made as directed.
  • you can use a pressure cooker instead and plunge an immersion blender in a few times to add extra creaminess to the dairy free soup. Just saute first and leave the cream and garnish until last. Cook for 20 minutes in pressure cooker and reduce stock fluid to 2 cups.
  • you can blend the soup completely if prefered, and you can substitute or add in cabbage, spinach, cauliflower for whatever desired effect.
