SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS
This soup has a very thick texture. If you want a hash that is thinner, add an extra cup of broth after pureeing or stir in one cup of milk. Cashew and soy milk are both good choices. Avoid oats, as the hot soup can cause them to curdle.
Roast the vegetables to add depth and flavor. The flavor of your soup will be enhanced by roasting sweet potatoes, squash, onions, and garlic.
Add up to 1/4 cup of maple syrup or coconut sugar for a sweeter soup.
