Traditionally, celery is a staple in this soup so add some in with the veggies if you want! With my take on it, I leave it out because it tastes extra creamy and has a bit of a different texture without them. Also, you can try substituting the paprika with smoked paprika if you don’t want to play it safe and give it a unique flavour.
If you give it a try, let me know what you think! This one was a hit over and over again at the retreat center I worked at. I must of made over 30 large batches of this one and most people hadn’t heard of it and really enjoyed it.😊
