I put about a tsp of crushed garlic in with the onion because it seemed like it needed something more and i'm glad i did. I used a bit more veg stock & omitted the milk coz i thought it might thin it out & make it a bit bland for my taste. Blended chunky style :) Update: I have since made this with the milk (and salt and pepper) and can't help thinking it still needs some herbs/spice to complete the picture, but I'll leave that to someone else I think.

very nice soup; followed recipe but also added some garlic. very nice taste; tasted with and without the added milk; both ways were very good. simple enough to make; not a huge list of ingredients and healthy.
