The pureed soup will be super thick when it comes out of the blender. Some people enjoy soup this way! If that’s you, leave it at that. For me, I like a pureed soup to have some fluidity to it. I ended up adding 2 full cups of water to mine to get the texture that I like.
If you don’t have the whole spices on hand, you can use an equal amount of ground cumin and coriander and skip that initial toasting and grinding step.
Really take your time with cooking the onions. It’s a key flavour-building step for this simple soup.
I was able to blend the entire soup in one go with my old Vitamix 5200 series blender.
