I love the Summer honestly, I just love everything about the long days, fun days out and the busy and fun filled days. However that change, the switch from summer to Autumn is also so very fun, and whilst soup doesn't come up much for me in the summer I absolutely love a cosy cold evening in thick slipper socks, leggings, a cosy oversized cardigan and a bowl of steaming, hot, warming soup.
This soup is just full of some of my favourite flavours, how can you go wrong with all the flavours of roasted veggies in a warm soup.
I woke up with a cold and decided this was the perfect day to combine these
flavours and so here we are about to enjoy a celebration of the end of summer in a delicious bowl! So here we go, if you do decide to give this recipe a try, send us your feedback or photos we would love to know your thoughts !
