I have been thinking about soup too. It’s funny how the temp only has to drop to the low or mid 20′s and we start thinking about soup!
Hi yes so true. I am tiring to add more new recipes to make. Refine them and if they are good I keep a record of them so I can make them again. This soup is hearty and with the hint of coriander and lemon it’s very good
