For a heartier soup, add a can of chickpeas or some cooked lentils along with the vegetables. Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of freshness and color. For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk) instead of dairy milk. This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together.
