Notes | FAQ

- For a more richer soup, replace ¼ cup of milk with heavy cream.
- You can also use vegetable broth instead of water for an added flavor. However, if using a broth, skip the addition of salt.
- Optionally, you can add some parmesan cheese to the soup while serving.
- Vegans can use vegan butter or olive oil instead of regular butter and use a non-dairy milk.
