Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Adjust the amount of reserved liquid blended back into the soup to make a thicker or thinner soup, as you prefer. Cover and refrigerate the remaining reserved liquid. You may find that you will want to thin any leftover soup a little more when reheating it the next day. You can also use the flavorful reserved liquid for cooking rice, potatoes or other dishes.
