This recipe was sent to me by a new-found-foodie-friend in the States! It sounds delicious, and I can’t wait to try it – I’ve really not been cooking much this week (strange, I know) and largely it’s due to the fact that I am on a rather restrictive diet, which frankly is cramping my culinary style more than I’d like. None-the-less, this soup seems perfectly innocent and healthy, so I’m giving it a thumbs up as a healthy recipe for today and plan to make and photograph it as soon as possible!
