Notes

For the cappuccino topping you can either use the adapter on some coffee machines if you have one at home or you can buy some soya lecithin in the health food section of you supermarket & heat it to about 60C with 100ml of the milk & froth it up with a stick blender. Spoon a liittle onto each soup just before serving.
