Hi i have made the winter veg soup i added all ingredients even cornflour. But i have a feeling the cornflour should have been added after cooking am i right ?

I’m wondering if you used someone else’s recipe. I don’t use cornflour in that. If I did, it would have to be mixed to a smooth paste with a little water or milk before adding. I’m not a fan of adding cornflour to soups, unless they’re chunky, as the veg usually thickens the soups naturally.
