This soup recipe is so economical and uses what is season now. This higher carb veg is not to everyone’s taste, but I was simply blown away by the flavour of this soup and can’t believe I hadn’t tried it sooner.

One of my favourite soups that warms me up no end is Beetroot and tomato. It’s taken me many years to really like beetroot. When I was a child I only every saw it pickled served up with fish on Fridays or with Boxing day buffets.
