Notes
This recipe is a good base for any homemade soup – feel free to be creative and add any vegetables you like. I like to serve the consistency of this soup thick but if you prefer, add extra stock or hot water to make it lighter in texture. This soup freezes well but may become slightly greyer in colour after freezing.
