WOW best soup I’ve had in ages. So full of flavour and easy to make. Will be making this againReply
So easy to make and absolutely delicious. It’s that easy to make, that I made it this morning before school run and work, whilst making Breakfasts, assembling packed lunches, feeding the cat and other morning activities in our house. This was my packed lunch today. Glad I liked it because I’ve got it tomorrow; Wednesday and Thursday tooReply
