  5. Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Carefully use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a regular blender (in batches if necessary) to blend until smooth or to your desired consistency.
  8. Return the soup to the saucepan if using a regular blender and heat through if needed.

  10. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 1/2 teaspoon of chopped green onions.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
