    Hand blenders are cheap in the supermarket and easier you just blitz it in the pan. You will love it.
    It also makes great pasta sauce.
    I have made it and put turkey meatballs in it.

    Enjoy xxx

    I'VE CHARTED THIS ALL OUT, IT'S OVER 100 CALS!

    Sure 100 isn't terrible but you mentioned 50ish, not even close!

    Ps: 3/4 pint = to 1.5 cups (water)

    I put it in the recipe thing earlier today and it came out as that. It in all fairness does make more than 10 servings and I think i logged it as 12. I will check it out again. It is still the most delicious soup ever and does me no damage.
