For a vegan variation, substitute olive oil for butter and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also use cashew cream or coconut milk instead of half-and-half for a richer, plant-based option. If you don't have pine nuts, try using toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for a similar crunchy texture. For a spicier soup, increase the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking.
