Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Wholemeal pita pocket bread. TIPS: Paneer is an Indian cheese with a similar consistency to feta and holds its shape during cooking. It is available in the cheese section of large supermarkets or Indian grocery stores. If unavailable, top soup with 1 tablespoon 99% fat-free plain yoghurt. Store any leftovers (without almonds and coriander) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop, adding a little water if too thick.
