  3. Use a stick blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you prefer a soup with a bit more texture, remove half the soup from the pan and purée, the stir the puréed portion back into the soup.
  4. Season to taste, and serve garnished with the toasted cumin and onion seeds and lime wedges on the side.
  5. COOK’S TIP: Swirl some 0% fat natural Greek yogurt through the soup just before serving – the SmartPoints will remain the same.
