What each ingredient does

Succotash
Forms the body of the soup, adding vegetable bulk and thickness.
Milk or vegetable stock
Makes up the liquid, adding moisture and a smooth texture; milk also adds creaminess.

The step that matters

Heat over medium heat and stir occasionally. Milk can scorch or form a skin if it gets too hot. Gentle heat and regular stirring spread heat evenly across the pot and keep the soup smooth.
