Notes
Substitutions/Modifications
- You can replace the oat milk with your plant-based milk of choice, coconut milk is a great option. The oat milk does not overwhelm the soup but if your looking for a creamer flavor, full-fat coconut milk would do the trick.
- If you are not on a plant-based diet and prefer a dairy product, then cooking cream or heavy cream are great alternatives.
- Want to add a touch of spice? Try a teaspoon of red curry paste or Indian curry powder. You can also just add-in some cayenne pepper.
