To change up your soup, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of cream for added richness, or swap the vegetable stock for chicken stock for a deeper flavour. Fresh chives or parsley make a beautiful garnish, and if you’re feeling adventurous, add a handful of homemade croutons, or just use your favourite shop-bought ones for ease!
