Smoky Basa Soup 🥄

Smoky autumn evenings pair perfectly with a smoky soup. Nourishing, warm, creamy, and herby – all in one bowl. Add croutons or crusty bread for satisfaction. For a twist, drizzle infused oils or sprinkle roasted seeds for added texture and flavour. Chili oil adds spice, while pumpkin seeds offer an autumnal crunch. Ideal for cozy nights or sharing, this soup is a comforting hug in a bowl leaving you totally sated.
