Make the gbejniet - Soft Cheese
Making the soup
Tip
Follow recipe by Amie Cardona on recipe Community to make the Soft Cheese (Gbejniet). https://www.recipecommunity.com.au/starters-recipes/soft-cheese/yb5dwqjs-c9b6f-647538-beea0-ewkt6nwy
I do not add the soft cheese (Gbejniet) to the soup bowl as they may break. The cheese will warm up with the heat of the soup.
If there is any left over soup it will thicken. When reheating add a little extra water to loosen.

Recipe is created for
TM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
