Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
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.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Absolutely beautiful!!! Subbed 270mls of the water with a can of coconut cream and added ginger in with the onion and garlic. Thick, creamy, little kick of spice, AMAZING!! Thank you!

yum!! didnt bother with the bacon dust, and it was superb with a spoonful of sour cream.
Made this tonight after trying a similar soup on the weekend.
I added some sliced Ginger with the garlic & onion & 2 cans of coconut cream then made up the rest of the liquid with water. Next time I’ll probably try one can instead of the 2, it was slightly thicker than I wanted.
The flavour was fab!
Thanks for sharing

Tasty but a bit spicy for me.
I added one teaspoon of curry powder and that had enough "kick" for me.
I also added chopped bacon during the cooking stage.
Will be making this again.
