Later, I adapted the recipe, so I could make it on the stovetop, in a much quicker time! The flavours are just as good, and now it’s a 45 minute project, instead of taking all day.

Here’s how the soup looks, when we serve it. I don’t sprinkle any coconut flakes on top, but I like to drizzle a bit of Tamari on top.

9. Remove from heat.
- Note: It doesn’t look too appealing at this point – all beige and lumpy!
10. Carefully use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.
11. Use a slotted spoon to check for lumps!
