This is a conservative serves 6 – because usually a HUGE batch of this does us for dinner and then goes into the freezer for easy meals later in the week!
Deliciously creamy and warm – without any cream. This is a wintery soup that really hits the spot. If you want to zing it up add a chopped chilli in the first step.
This recipe is for Thermomix and has traditional instructions.

1 small brown onion ( approx 50 g)
1 garlic clove (approx 20g)
