**FOR A CREAMIER SOUP:
Make a slurry by adding 2 tablespoons of unbleached all-purpose flour in a medium bowl. Ladle a cup of the broth and pour it into the bowl with the flour, whisking or stirring well with a fork. Add this back into the soup, bring to a low simmer, stirring until thickened.
Alternatively, you can use 2 tablespoons cornstarch plus 2 tablespoons of water, mixing well. Pour this into the soup while at a low simmer, stirring until thickend.
