For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to partially or fully puree the soup before serving. Be cautious when blending hot liquids. The soup's flavor intensifies overnight, making it an excellent make-ahead dish. Its freezer-friendly nature allows you to enjoy the taste of summer well into the colder months. Serve with a swirl of crème fraîche or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added richness and tang. A sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, adds a final touch of vibrancy. Pair this soup with crusty bread for dipping or a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting meal.
