Winter to Spring Vegetable Soup

Sunshine in a bowl is how my daughter describes this soup. Its full of spring fresh vegetables and some bits that needing using up...soup is always a fantastic way to clear out that fridge drawer. The yelliw peppers give it that glorious sunny glow. You can adapt it to whatever you have available as the principles are the same. Prep, chop, cook then mash down or blend till you get the consistency you prefer. Why not give this a try and let us know how you get on in the comments below. We love to hear your feedback. E x
