Notes
Vegan: if you would like this to be vegan you can use vegetable stock and substitute the butter for olive oil.
Blender: If you do not have an immersion blender a regular stand blender works just fine. Place all the ingredients in the blender with 2 cups of broth and blend until smooth, pour soup back into pot. Pour remaining 2 cups of broth in the blender and pulse to loosen up and soup that remains the blender bowl, then pour this in with soup.
Brown Sugar is optional.
