Kraft Kitchen Tips!

Substitute

For a fully meatless soup, prepare using vegetable broth.

Note

If you have an immersion blender, you can use that to blend the soup right in the saucepan.

Special Extra

Serve topped with naan croutons. Just cut 1 naan into 1/2-inch pieces; spread onto baking sheet. Bake in 400ºF oven 10 min. or until crisp. Sprinkle over individual servings of soup.
