Creamy Topping

To create the topping for the soups use approx 250ml coconut milk & 150ml chicken stock. To create the foam effect heat up the coconut milk, chicken stock with 1 1/2g of lecithin powder (bonding agent) and either use a fast blender or milk froffer (works really well).

To Serve

After both the Pea and Carrot soups have cooked, use a hand mixer and wizz into a creamy liquid. Pour the Red, Orange and Green soups into shot glasses and pour on the creamy topping.
