Soup is just one of those lovely meals you can make in one pot and forget about for a while, but sometimes an amazing soup comes around that’s creamy, filling and just bursting with flavor. The best part about this soup is you can really just use up the veggies in your fridge, its really easy and versatile, with just a dash of coconut milk for extra decadence.
A word of advice, if you’re going to fiddle around with the recipe and use other ingredients, just make sure your veggies are just covered with vegetable stock, to much and you will have a really runny soup, to little and you will have a purée.
