Serve it with a swirl of yoghurt or cream and snipped fresh mint or chives and a hunk of warm bread. If you're not keeping this dish vegetarian, some crumbled crisp prosciutto or bacon sprinkled on top would make a delicious savoury, salty contrast with the sweet soup.

Or you could top with Parmesan croutons.

INDIVIDUAL AND SMALL: Empty into a saucepan and place over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally till piping hot (70C); or empty into a microwave-safe container and heat for 2-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until piping hot throughout.

For a quick defrost, place in a sink of warm water and ensure that the defrosted dish then reaches 70C (piping hot) within two hours of beginning the defrosting process.
