Soups are a fantastic all in one meal. They are warming, comforting, full of goodness and a great way to use up vegetables that may be a little worse for wear.
Soups can be mostly made in a relatively short time, all in the one pot and cost very little to make so if you are looking for and economical meal soup is a great place to start.
Soup is a dish that stores in the fridge or freezer well and is a good addition to your lunchbox to heat later or reheated at home and stored in a thermos for a quick easy hot lunch.
Don’t be shy to change the vegetables to whatever you prefer or change the curry paste for what you already have or if you’re not a fan of curry leave it out.
