This cheery coloured soup is bursting with flavour, nutrients and fragrance. It is also very easy to make, using just one pot, a knife and a chopping board. (The less washing up the better!) Moreover, it makes use of store-cupboard basics so it is inexpensive to make.

There's more where this came from!
