Tips
- When making puréed soups, the exact chop size of vegetables doesn't matter too much, but avoid pieces so large that your blender can't chop them.
- Consider the strength and subtlety of each vegetable when deciding how much to add to the soup. For example, zucchini has a mild flavor, so you can add a lot, while onion is strong, so don't overdo it.
- Adding different levels of seasoning or stocks will improve the taste.
- You can add croutons, a touch of cream, or chives to your soup.
