Tips & Tricks
- You can also add around ½ cup (120ml) of dairy-free cream to the soup just before serving to make it even creamier!
- If you have opted to use fresh tomatoes, cut them into small chunks and once the soffritto has softened, add the fresh tomatoes to the pan and let them cook down for 15-20 minutes before adding the stock.
- You can leave the soup a bit chunky or keep blending until it's super smooth, the choice is yours!
- Sprinkle through some chopped fresh basil leaves before serving for added flavour.
