===Chef's notes===
Made this with 1.25 litres of good stock and it resembled a Dickensian gruel. Far too much liquid. Did some reducing, thickening, general messing and it was quite nice.

Suggest leaving the same ingredients but reducing the stock and suggesting that it should only serve 2 people. It could never look like their photo with the original quantities.

We also fried some onions and garlic and added those to the mix before pureeing. Nice recipe, even so.
