Put the blended soup back on the stove to adjust its consistency.

Thin out the soup by adding a little more hot water if it's too thick.

Boil the soup for a while after adjusting the consistency.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a separate pan.

Add a heaping tablespoon of flour to the melted butter.

Roast the flour thoroughly until the smell disappears, being careful not to burn it.

Mix well and then pour the flour mixture into the soup.

Mix the soup thoroughly with a whisk.

Add plenty of dried mint and black pepper on top.

Serve by pouring butter and pepper sauce on the soup.
