To prepare, simply heat the soup gently in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is thoroughly warmed through. Alternatively, you can pour the soup into a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through. Be careful when handling hot soup. It is best served hot, allowing the spices to release their full aroma. You can garnish it with a swirl of yogurt or fresh herbs if desired.
