This is simple to prepare and makes a good potato soup. It can be prepared in advance up to the addition of the half and half. Just refrigerate at that point and when ready to serve add the half and half and serve or heat and serve. As the Title says, Some like it hot, some like it cold!

  • In a wok or frying pan, heat the tablespoon of oil, fry the onion and garlic for one minute, add the coriander, cumin and if you use them the chili peppers, fry this for two minutes.
  • Add the carrots, beans and tomatoes, fry until you see the tomatoes going soft, add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
