Chef’s Tips

To make this recipe Whole30 or dairy free, substitute 1/2-1 cup coconut cream (just the solid white part of a can of coconut milk) for the heavy cream and use ghee or a neutral oil instead of butter. Your soup will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. If you want to freeze your soup, follow the instructions, but stop before you add the heavy cream. Without the cream added, it will keep in the freezer for about 3 months.
