Return the soup to the pot and stir in the cream. Pour into a bowl and top with shredded or grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Prep Ahead: Before you dive into cooking, take a moment to read the entire recipe and review the ingredient notes. Having everything prepped and ready streamlines the cooking process, making it even quicker and more enjoyable.
Opt for Canned Tomatoes: These pantry staples are harvested at their flavor peak and carefully preserved. This makes for a soup that's not just easy to prepare but also deeply rich and flavorful.
Master the Salt Game: Using low-sodium broth allows you to have greater control over the sodium level in your soup. If you're using a regular broth, you might need to dial back on the added salt. Always taste test towards the end and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Garnish Galore: Once your soup is done, consider elevating it with a sprinkle of croutons, a dash of fresh herbs, a handful of toasted nuts, a dollop of sour cream, or some extra shredded cheese.
