Yum, yum, yum. I know this is a favourite of many, but couldn't find a review so started this one.
DH made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious, DD (age 3) loved it too.
He followed the recipe precisely. Next time I'll probably add more vegetables, not that they are necessary, it's just always handy to throw some in!
For those without the book, the original recipe is on Jo's blog...there is at least one tweak though (using coconut oil instead of olive oil/butter, definitely a good tweak, I think the coconut oil adds something).
Happy cooking!

It is good Jam and even nicer when DH makes it.
Last time i used cashews instead of almonds, delicious.

We had this for the first time tonight. (Hanging my head in shame). I made it exactly as Jo said. We really loved it and I will definitely be making it again.

I always make this when someone I know is sick or going through a rough time.  I make it and buy a packet of "steam fresh" vegetable so they can microwave a bag of veges to put in their bowl and spoon the soup over. Yum Yum Yum!  :)

We love this soup and I often make it when guests are coming for lunch as it makes a nice simple meal. Just add rolls and perhaps a light dessert and you are done.

OMG  I can't believe I've never made this before.  It is absolutely delish !

Followed the recipe exactly.  Already looking forward to left overs tomorrow.

If anyone hasn't made this, just do it.  It's healthy but doesn't taste like it 😝
I do the best I can

I know everyone seems to really like this recipe but no one in the family enjoyed it, not sure if I did something wrong but it didn't seem to have a lot of flavour and I didn't really like the texture.
