  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added freshness and flavor.

Storage and Serving

  • To reheat the soup, simply heat it gently on the stovetop over low heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the soup as a starter for a dinner party or as a main dish with a side of crusty bread.
