Hints/tips
  • Leave the carrot skin on for even more essential dietary fibre.
  • Add more Philadelphia to enhance fortification.
Why Philly? Philadelphia is heat resistant, so the soup is suitable for hot holding. It gives the dish a luxury taste and velvety finish and is an essential ingredient in the recipe.
