Recipe Notes

Tips: Don't leave your blitzing to the end it makes it harder to create a smooth soup.

If you want you can also have it as a chunky soup without blitzing. You can also adapt the thickness to suit your preferences. I like it thick and creamy but simply add more milk or water for a less thick texture. Though I'd make it as it is first as this is a medium thickness.
