Winter Vegetable Soup

Vegetable soup is relatively easy to make, it’s packed full of speed-free food ingredients and a great way to use up any leftover vegetables that you have left at the end of the week and of course, a fantastic way to make the ultimate winter warmer.

If you are not using all of the soup at one time and intend to reheat, try adding the chopped pasta to the soup when reheating to keep the pasta nice and firm.

For this vegetable soup, I have simply used what vegetables I have left in my fridge at the time of cooking but there is no right or wrong vegetable for this type of soup.

Feel free to experiment with your favourite vegetables, your soup will still be packed full of vegetables and be packed full of flavour.
