Me too Farfallina - home-made soup and bread are my most typical lunch.    I must try this one when I've used up my jerusalem artichokes...  will let you know how it goes

I wonder if this is at all like the recipe in the Varoma book? That's lovely.

This one is similar but different so worth giving it a go Cookie.  The other one uses dry chickpeas not canned, twice as many carrots and onion, no celery, 3 x the amount of spinach, more water, no VSC, no pasta, no parmesan and it uses garlic and turnips which farfallina hasn't used  ;D ;D
