Stuff to know
Dice the vegetables finely so they cook evenly.
Only puree the soup when the vegetables are really soft.
The binding in the soup comes from the vegetables. If the soup is too thick after pureeing, stir in some water, stock or cream until you have the desired consistency.
Serve the soup with some chilli flakes if desired.
