Preparation
Chef’s notes
This is a great recipe to sneak in leafy greens for those picky eaters. Spinach, kale, collard greens, swiss chard, or arugula are all great options.
Always add the heavy cream at the very end, pouring very slowly to prevent curdling.
Need a dairy-free option? Substitute coconut cream or skip the half and half.
Garnishes are always optional but a fresh sprinkle of grated Parmesan or some crispy bacon will certainly take your soup to the next level, adding more flavor, texture, and contrast.
Serve with all the homemade crusty bread for dipping, sopping, and dunking!
