One thing I like about this book is that I often have all the ingredients on hand or it uses ingredients that can be substituted quite easily.
I used 1/2 a brown and 1/2 a red onion, 1/2 tsp garlic paste as well as the fresh clove of garlic, used bought liquid stock, frozen corn and added 1/2 tsp salt & 1/8th tspn white pepper at the end with the cream. I did cook the soup for an extra 5 minutes.
I really enjoyed this soup, the coriander and prawn garnish finished it off nicely. It would be nice for a dinner party entrée for big kids
