For a richer flavor, use heavy cream or half-and-half in place of some of the milk. To prevent scorching, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir frequently. If lumps form, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup base to a regular blender to smooth it out. Be careful when blending hot liquids. This soup base can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, aromatic note.
