5. Lower the heat slightly, cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

6. Add the soy sauce and stock.

7. Cover and simmer 10 minutes.

8. In a separate pan, mix the olive oil and flour to form a thick paste.

9. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute then whisk in the soy milk or rice milk and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until steamy and slightly thickened.

10. Add the milk mixture to the soup.

11. Stir in the lemon juice and red wine just before serving.
