Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
A: Absolutely! You’ll need about 700-800g of mixed vegetables. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Q: Is this soup vegetarian/vegan?
A: This recipe is vegetarian. To make it vegan, ensure your halloumi alternative is plant-based.

Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: Yes! The soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Add the halloumi chips just before serving to maintain their crispiness.

Q: What kind of halloumi is best for chips?
A: A firm block of halloumi works best. Avoid pre-grated or marinated halloumi, as it may not crisp up as well.
