Method

2. Add in seasonings to taste.

3. Use hand mixer to blend the soup into the consistency preferred. Alternatively, transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender and blend the soup until smooth. Pour the pureed soup back into the pot. Cook for 5 more minutes until soup is well-flavoured.

4. Remove the pot from heat and add in freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt if required. Serve immediately.
