Add the chopped potatoes and boil for 10 – 15 mins
Reduce the heat and add in the coconut milk. Process till smooth using stick blender of food processor or a potato masher if stuck.

Now you have tried our Zuppa Toscana how about changing it up a little? We recommend our fresh Mexican Chorizo sausages to give a spicier taste to this soup, it works really well as an alternative dish!
