This is a delicious, simple soup packed with flavour - you can of course make it your own by adding chilli, ginger or a spice blend of your choice like a cajun or curry spice mix when you add the pepper to the pot to give the soup an interesting kick!
Pour hot into a flask for a filling on-the-go lunch or serve in warm bowls with crusty bread!
