- Adjust the bread quantity to achieve your desired consistency. More bread creates a creamier soup.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables and herbs! Cucumber, bell peppers, or jalapenos can add extra flavor and complexity.
- For a beautiful presentation, consider using a small ice cube to chill the bowl before serving.
