Notes

Delicious toppings variations to try:-

Almond silvers – which add a nice crunch to the soup.
Chives – gives the soup an oniony flavour without being too overbearing.
Parsley – is a great topping for almost any soup. This soup is no exception. Parsley also has the added advantage of being readily available.
A drizzle of melted butter – adds to the richness of the soup. Also enhances the creamy taste.
Low carb or keto bread, or croutons – If you are really hungry then serve it with some sliced low carb or keto bread as a main meal or as an appetizer.
Coconut or olive oil – particularly great as a topping for those on a low carb or keto diet.
