Steps
Notes from Nourishible editors
Written by our recipe team from the video and the method above.
- Swap · Step 3: No preserved lemon? Lemon zest gives a brighter, less salty and less fermented flavour; add a little extra salt at the end.
- Our take · Step 9: Preserved lemon and broth both bring salt, so taste after the lemon juice goes in before adding any more.
- Equipment · Step 5: No kitchen twine? Leave the thyme and bay loose and lift out the stems and leaves with a slotted spoon before finishing the soup.
