What could be more cosy than a steaming bowl of soup on a chilly day.
I just love soup! its my favourite comfort food because its guilt free and super nutritious, with the added bonus that you can use all your left over vege that you already have.
The ingredients I have used tend to be my base, but you can really throw anything in the pot with a fabulous end result, the key is using a really nice stock, I love to use Massel 7s beef stock, because the stock is vegan, lactose and gluten free and super tasty.
