Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Control the texture
Blend only part of the soup first, then add more as needed so you can stop exactly when it reaches the texture you like.
Useful for tomorrow
Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate in a sealed container; add a splash of water when reheating to bring the texture back.
