  4. Remove the bouquet of fresh herbs, then stir in grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast, along with heavy cream or plant-based cream. Allow the cheese to melt.
  5. Let the soup cool slightly, then carefully transfer it to a blender or use an immersion blender. Blend until reaching desired consistency.
