Notes
- Blending Tips: For a smooth and creamy texture, use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches—just be sure not to overfill to avoid splatters.
- Adjusting Consistency: If the soup is too thick, you can add a little more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Spice Level: Adjust the curry powder and pepper based on your spice preference. Start small and add more to taste.
- Storage Tip: The soup thickens as it cools. Add a splash of broth or water when reheating to bring it back to your preferred consistency.
