April 21, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’m back in soup making mode and here is another quick, easy and tasty option. It is made from store cupboard items which is great when you haven’t been to the supermarket and can be on the table in 30 minutes.

Again, this soup can be stored in the fridge for a few days or frozen in individual portions.
