  7. Return the blended soup to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon green peppercorns (fresh or brined, roughly chopped), salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  10. Serve chilled or warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and a few extra green peppercorns.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
