The Journey called Food – my soup trail…
Soup has always been my comfort food, the bowl I could fall back on, when I need my palate to be awakened. In this blog we bring you a soup that we’ve all been fond of since our childhood. Probably, the best known of soups and the most consumed. Topped with some fresh cream and a crunchy crouton it’s a foodie heaven. We introduced this version to some children at a school and they loved it! We won too we got them to have a fair share of their daily intake of healthy vegetables minus the ‘Fuss’. Brings back childhood memories, eh! Now why don’t you make this for you children or for yourself and join us in this journey to the Passion called Food.
