Serving Suggestions

 

For a complete meal, try serving soup with warm Fate LP bread.

 

For a thinner soup, try adding more stock or water.

 


 

Top TIps

 

Soup stores well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, in an airtight container.

 

Suggest mixing the cream to individual portions once the soup has been heated to avoid the cream boiling and curdling.

 

Can be frozen for up to 6 months in deep freezer.
