    Quick wins & tips

    We’ve used almonds to thicken the soup, but you could whizz in a couple of slices of good quality bread (step 1) instead.

    Make Ahead

    This is best eaten straightaway, but any leftovers will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 days. Add the garnish just before serving.
