  3. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Increase heat to bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a high-speed blender in batches or use an immersion blender directly. Blend until smooth or leave chunky as preferred.

  6. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish as desired, and enjoy with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
