🍽️ Serving
Enjoy this soup hot, right off the stove. You can garnish it with some fresh herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor. A side of crusty bread or a light salad complements the soup well.
For a bit of crunch, top your bowl with homemade croutons, or crunchy baked chickpeas. And for that extra special something, fry up some sliced vegan chorizo to place on top of the soup before serving. Happy eating!
❄️ Storage

How to reheat
To reheat, simply pour the soup into a pot and warm it on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it's hot. If you find the soup has thickened too much, you can add a bit of vegetable stock or water to thin it out.
Alternatively, you can reheat the soup in a microwave-safe container. Use the high setting for about 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating.
Remember, this soup is best enjoyed hot, so make sure to heat it thoroughly before serving.
