    This has split the family- half of us loved it, the other found it bitter and grainy. I personally didn’t like it. I liked the basic blitzed veg though, and chose to use the optional carob, which is what I think ruined it- adding a bitter quality and turning the soup far more brown than the ruby red the author promised. I don’t think it’ll be made again
