RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Do NOT exceed the MAX line - when cooking in the Thermomix, it's important to never exceed the MAX line (this is particularly important in the TM31 where the bowl is smaller than the TM5 and TM6). If you find that you're nearing the MAX line, simply decrease the amount of vegetable stock liquid.
Remove the MC (measuring cup) and place the splatter guard or rice basket over the top to catch any splatters.
Mix and match with any of your favourite vegetables or beans - just ensure you keep the quantities the same.
Omit the bacon for a vegetarian soup.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat directly from frozen or defrost in the fridge before reheating.
