      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

** If you don't want to cut your vegetables (Í like mine a quite chunky) then you can add these first and chop for a 1-2 seconds/sp 5 for desired chop.

** I use only 2 rashers of Bacon as this delivers enough flavour in conjunction with Veg stock, anymore and your Soup will be too salty.

VEGETARIAN: delete bacon

    Submitted by amyjohnson1987 on 24. July 2018 - 20:21.

    So tonight I added extra bacon and didn't add a tin of tomatoes... instead I added 3.5 chopped tomatoes.

    It COMPLETELY changed the taste. I wouldn't recommend more than two rashers of bacon and definitely use a can of tomatoes, instead of frash ones.

    I put pasta in the first time, but didn't the next time, just added more veg. I feel like the pasta makes it slightly less healthy and doesn't really add to the taste, so I leave it out.

    Other than that, this soup is very MORE-ish... once I start on it, I can't stop and this is the fourth time I've made this soup in a fortnight.

    This soup is delicious! I added a bit more pasta, had no spinach (so used whatever veg I had), and subbed dried basil for fresh. Quite quick to make, too. Thank you!

  • This was absolutely delicious

    Submitted by jeanettelv on 14. June 2016 - 19:49.

    This was absolutely delicious and so quick and easy to make!  I didn't have the frozen spinach, so used fresh instead - did not adversely change the flavour or texture of the soup.

    Devoured by 1 and 4 year old daughters, my husband and myself!  Great to get a good feed of veges packed full of flavour.

    Will definitely be making this again!

  • Why the two lots of stock

    Submitted by Kazbar73 on 4. June 2016 - 14:22.

    Why the two lots of stock concentrate? It only mentions one in the recipe instructions.
