⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better

To counteract this, pair it with a low-sodium side like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, and consider rinsing the soup lightly if it's particularly salty. Additionally, the creamy sauce may contain dairy, which could be an issue for those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
