tips and tricks

1. Don’t rush the first step: stir-fry the onions, garlic, celery, and thyme that form the basis of this flavorful vegetable soup. Cook long enough to soften and develop flavor.
2. Consider the cooking time for each ingredient. Add the vegetables a little at a time, making sure they are cooked through as closely as possible.
3. Most stocks are high in salt and even contain canned beans, so use less salt, especially at first. Check the taste at the end of the cooking time and add more salt if necessary.
4. As soon as the soup boils, reduce the heat and bring to a boil. If you cook for too long, the vegetables will become mushy.
5. If you want a thicker soup, reduce the soup and add more coconut milk. If you think it’s missing something when you do a taste test, a squeeze of lemon juice will add some acidity to balance it out.

How to prepare and store

This soup is easy to make in advance. Cook the vegetables until they are soft but still have some crunch, so remove them from the heat. Once cool, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

The same goes for leftovers. Reheat this delicious vegetable soup on the stovetop over medium heat or warm it up in single servings in the microwave.
