How to make make soup thick and creamy?
This can be accomplished by the addition of:
- Cream cheese

- Half and half
- Whole milk
- Sour cream
- Flour (That's what I used in this recipe)
Soup garnish and toppings
-Herbs: Use fresh, roughly chopped basil, parsley, cilantro.
-Croutons: Seasoned croutons taste the best.
-Cheese: Shredded mozzarella and parmesan are best! Gouda cheese is also a classic choice.
Tips and Techniques
-Use nonstick pot to prevent sticking and burning.
-Use low sodium broth and unsalted butter to prevent soup from becoming too salty.
-If you don't have vegetable broth, you can replace it with chicken broth.
-Adjust the amount of seasonings, based on your preference.
-Jarred roasted red peppers or homemade roasted red peppers can be used.
-Sriracha sauce is optional but highly recommended since it adds a subtle spicy kick. You can also replace it with ½ test red chili flakes OR even omit it altogether if you don't like spice.
-All-purpose flour yields the best results. Don't replace it with any other flour.
-If soup looks too thin at the end, cook without lid on medium heat until liquid is reduced and soup thickens to your desired consistency.
-If soup is too thick, thin it by adding some more broth or water at the end.
