Made this last night - so delicious and an easy way to get my husband to eat more veg (he had two bowls)! Love your site - making your lamb this evening. Thank you for your wonderful recipes. And the videos are great to see as a guide!

Made this tonight and it was so delicious!!! Omitted the zucchini and Cavolo Nero as I didn’t have them off hand. Definitely a keeper ♥️ Thank you for all your delicious dishes!

Oh I'm so pleased, thank you for sharing! And yes, that's one thing I love about this is how adaptable it is - you can really make it your own and it's always good xx

Hi! I meant puree, but paste would work too. Paste is a bit more concentrated than puree but we are only using 1tbsp of it - just want to use to it impart some intensely tomato-ey flavour to the base of the soup, as we aren't cooking the whole thing for ages! Margie xxx
