Can I omit the cumin?

Reply to Rikki

You can, but I'd suggest just using less if you're not a fan of cumin. I don’t love the smell, but it adds great flavor without tasting or smelling cumin-y at all.

What can I top with when serving?

I'd recommend roasted nuts, seeds, sourdough croutons, or fresh herbs, such as cilantro.
