      TM 5
      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.

    Lovely soup. Didn't have enough leek so added an extra onion. Also didn't have the thickened cream so used yoghurt and smooth ricotta mixed together. Looking forward to being better prepared and having all the ingredients next time. Thanks for sharing.

  • Yum, yum!! I eat a vegan diet

    Submitted by Pambrowne on 5. May 2016 - 07:40.

    Yum, yum!! I eat a vegan diet so I changed the cream for cashew cream made with 1/2 cup cashews soaked in 3/4 cup water and blasted in a separate blender. Creamy and delicious. This will become a staple in our house.
