I have added a note to the soup recipe to take into account you may have to judge how much stock you use depending on the size of the vegetables you use. I made the soup this weekend again and found this out. Thanks for your comments.

This soup is fantastic! I’ve made it at least ten times now and have started to double up and freeze the rest. I’ve actually started to add some red pepper flakes sometimes as this gives it a little spice. It’s really not needed as the soup is wonderful without, but I love spicy food ????
