Essential Prep for Perfectly Textured Soup

After chopping, you’ll want to sauté everything for deeper flavor. A heavy-bottomed pan like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch is ideal here, as it ensures nothing sticks and cleanup is a breeze.

How to Achieve the Creamiest Broccoli Potato Soup

Once your vegetables are tender, you can blend the soup to silky perfection. For a flawlessly smooth texture, pulse your soup in the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender. Prefer some chunkiness? Only blend half and stir it back in.
