About

This hearty and comforting soup is particularly needed during the winter months. It’s full of nostalgic flavours, as it was a go-to comfort dish for me when growing up. It is intensely aromatic and nutrient-rich, with herbs, beans, dried limes and lots more goodness. Don’t let the long list of ingredients deter you; it’s totally worth it.
