Everyone has their own opinion as to how thick a soup should be. This recipe is luxuriously rich and creamy, but if you would still like it thicker, you can thicken the soup by adding flour, cornstarch or other thickeners such as mashed potatoes or beans.  Here’s how: -Mash potatoes: Mash more of the potatoes to make it thicker. -Puree beans: Add cannellini beans to a blender along with some of the soup. Puree until smooth to create a paste.  Stir back into the soup and warm through. -Cornstarch:   Whisk 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch with ¼ cup broth or water until smooth then whisk it back into the soup.  Simmer for a few minutes to thicken.  Repeat if needed.  -Flour:  Flour is half as potent as cornstarch so you will need twice as much. Remove about ½ cup soup, whisk in 2-4 tablespoons flour with a fork until smooth then whisk it back into the soup.  Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.  Repeat if needed
