For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to purée a portion or all of the soup after cooking. Add shredded cooked chicken, diced ham, or crumbled sausage for a heartier meal. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) to the simmering soup during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
