Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

- Feel free to customize the vegetable selection according to your preferences or what you have on hand.
- To make the soup even creamier, you can add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra pop of flavor and color.
