  • Add your favorite vegetables: You can add any vegetables you like to this soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, and corn.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more creamy.
