    I make a similar soup but add celery and just 1 small parsnip which gives it some sweetness. I use vegetable cubes instead of beef stock so it’s also a good ‘veggie’ recipe.

    The ingredients say 1 ltr water, the method says make up to 2 litres of stock, is there a typo or am I missing something.

    Yes John I did add 2 litres, but you can add more or less depending on how thick you like your soup 🙂

    Made a batch of this today with some for the freezer on days when it’s harder to be organised.
    Tastes great and feels substantial.
    Thanks Izzy

    Just made this soup so I can take some to work every day. It was rather yummy. Thank you so much for this 😛. I did just add a little turmeric too but that’s because I use as much of that in my diet as possible.
