Whirl until smooth, scraping down side of bowl as needed. Pour into a clean saucepan. Purée remaining soup in 2 more batches and add to saucepan. Return to burner. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Taste, then add more salt, if needed. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Soup will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
