Recipe Notes
Use any spices you love. This soup is incredibly flexible — try curry powder, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, or even a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
Make it creamy. Stir in coconut milk, cream, or even a spoonful of Greek yogurt after blending for extra richness.
Adjust the texture. Add more stock or water for a lighter soup, or simmer a little longer to thicken.
Great for meal prep. It keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days and freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. Reheat gently and add a splash of water or stock if it thickens.
