Recipe Tip
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a blender. Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, then carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to purée. Purée in batches until smooth, then pour into a clean pot and continue with Step 3.
