Pro Tips

1. Maximize Flavor with Caramelization When sautéing the onions, take your time to let them caramelize slightly. This will add a deeper, richer flavor to the base of your soup and enhance its overall taste.

2. Enhanced Garlic Aroma Before adding the garlic, consider letting the onions become slightly golden and adding a small pinch of salt. This helps draw out more moisture, which can enhance the garlic aroma and prevent it from burning.

3. Consistent Potato Texture Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly. This consistency is vital for a smooth texture once the soup is blended.

4. Blending Safety Tip If using a regular blender, allow the soup to cool for a few minutes before blending, and do it in batches. Remove the center cap of the blender lid to allow steam to escape, covering the opening with a kitchen towel to avoid splatters.

5. Garnish Variations for Crunch Besides pumpkin or sunflower seeds, consider toasting them lightly before garnishing. Additionally, a swirl of extra coconut milk or a drizzle of olive oil can add a beautiful finish and extra richness.
