For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to puree directly in the pot, or carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Be careful when blending hot liquids!
The cayenne pepper adds a subtle warmth; adjust the amount to your preference. Smoked paprika is also a great addition.
This soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to airtight containers and freezing for up to 3 months.
Consider adding a diced apple for a touch of sweetness and tartness
