Notes
- Use a stick blender to blend this soup. If you are going to use a jug blender, make sure it cools down first, as putting hot soup in can cause it to break.
- If you are making this soup for young children, then use a low salt stock.
- You may need to add a little bit more stock to the soup after blending, depending on the consistency that you want. If you have cooked the soup on too high a heat, then it will need more stock otherwise it will a little thick. It is meant to be a thinner soup.
