I cannot wait to see your posts!
I loved this. Used up some tomatoes that had gone soft, and courgettes from my garden. I skinned the tomatoes first. Also used slightly less than the stated amount of liquid, as we prefer a thick soup. Made double quantity to use up all my veg, and ensure plenty for lunches in the week!
So glad you enjoyed it Dawn! Annabelle x
This was quite nice although I would use less water next time. I added a bit of chilli as it was a little bland maybe.
Thanks for your feedback. Annabelle
