    Made your soup today but I did get slightly confused when asked to blend together the veg stock, flour and milk because I had already added the stock to the cauliflower and broccolli as directed, and cooked for 10 minutes, so I had no leftover stock to use. In the end I used some stock that was in the pot with the cauli and broccolli. Also my soup is a lot chunkier than your picture. As I haven’t yet been lucky enough to come and try your soup myself could you let me know what I’m doing wrong. Thanks.

      Hi Anne, we have just had a look at the recipe and see why it’s a little confusing. We have edited it to make it clearer. We blend until smooth but you can blend to your desired consistency. Hopefully we will get to meet you soon and you can sample our soup in person!
