FAQ
How many servings does this cottage cheese flax soup make?
The recipe makes 2 servings.
Can I blend the entire soup?
Yes. Blend all of it for a smoother soup, or blend only half to keep some texture.
When should I add the cottage cheese?
Add it after removing the soup from the heat. Stir until warmed through and creamy.
Can I use ground flaxseed instead of whole flaxseed?
Yes. Ground flaxseed can be used, but it may thicken the soup more quickly, so adjust with a little water if needed.
How can I make the soup thicker?
Use ground flaxseed, blend more of the soup, or simmer it briefly to reduce excess liquid.
Can I prepare this soup in advance?
Yes. Store it covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently. Stir well, as the flax may thicken the soup as it stands.
Is this soup suitable for a vegetarian diet?
Yes, provided the vegetable broth is vegetarian. It contains dairy from the cottage cheese.
Can I make this soup dairy-free?
Use a suitable unsweetened dairy-free cottage cheese alternative, knowing that the texture and taste may differ.
