Notes
Make the soup in a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven. This will help to distribute the heat more evenly so that the bottom doesn't get scorched.
For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender or standing blender to blend the soup together.
Taste the soup before serving and adjust the salt and pepper to suit your tastes.
