What each ingredient does

Vegetable stock
Forms the liquid base that cooks the vegetables and carries the soup's flavour.
Mixed vegetables
Provide the body, texture and most of the flavour of the soup.
Milk
Adds creaminess and a mild sweetness to the broth.

The step that matters

Stir in the milk and heat through without boiling. Milk proteins can curdle and separate when they are overheated or boiled, leaving a grainy texture. Heating gently keeps the soup smooth and creamy.
