To prepare, simply pour the contents of the can into a saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the soup is thoroughly heated. Avoid boiling, as this can affect the texture of the creamy broth. For an even richer flavor, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or a pat of butter just before serving. It is also delicious served with crusty bread for dipping.
