Notes
This is a delicious soup that can be served as a main course or a side.
An immersion blender would probably work best, but I only have a regular blender. If using a regular blender it helps to have 2 pots so you can blend in batches. Be careful blending hot soup, it can be messy and dangerous.
I like to serve this with bacon on top, make extra so you can eat it while the soup cooks.
