Notes
Note:I have used Massel Chicken stock powder in the recipe as it gives an extra hit of flavour to the soup. This brand of chicken stock is plant-based and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.Cutting the vegetables smaller will reduce the cook time. If you would prefer a quicker cook, before you start the recipe, you can chop the vegetables separately in the Thermomix for 5 sec/Speed 5. Reserve each vegetable after chopping. Then continue at the start of the recipe.If you don't have a Thermomix, see the instructions for the stove top Conventional Method.
