Note
The original recipe included an egg tempering step, but since the dish is tagged as Vegan, this has been omitted. If you prefer a non-vegan version, you can temper an egg with hot soup before stirring it back into the pot for a creamy texture.
For added flavor, consider saut&# 195;©ing the garlic in olive oil before adding the water.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
