To prepare a simple soup, gently heat the base in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. You can add water or broth to achieve your desired consistency. Enhance the flavor by incorporating your favorite herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of nutmeg. For a richer taste, stir in a swirl of cream or a dollop of yogurt before serving. It can also be used as a base for adding cooked vegetables, grains, or proteins to create a more substantial meal.
