A bowl of hot soup is my comfort food. When I am too full to eat a full meal or want to diet a bit & avoid the carbs I turn to soups & one can get real creative with soups – especially if you have a well stocked fridge with an assortment of veggies. I usually keep the basic vegetables like carrots, potatoes, french beans & peas handy round the year, so I can make something in a jiffy. This recipe is nutritious and healthy and turns out yummy enough for my brat to get some veggies inside his lil tummy 🙂
