Making a quick soup in the morning is one of favourite things to do, time sometimes does not allow this.
My quickie on Wednesday morning turned out brilliantly. I went for some basic soup ingredients and cobbled together this soup on the fly. I had only about twenty minutes before Jane came down form her shower and we were off to work so I had to work fast, no reference works for me. I chopped and I poured and I squeezed the ingredients to get them all in the soup kettle and left it to cook on it own.
When we returned from work….. Well it was delicious, I can tell you.
