A wonderful soup, that is inspired by the delicious taste of the Mediterranean. The combination of succulent tomatoes, courgettes, peppers & rice with a light vegetable stock makes for a lunch full of Mediterranean flavours.
The term ‘a hearty soup’ could almost have been invented to describe our delicious Chicken Broth recipe. Satisfying and positively brimming with flavour.
All this soup needs is a warm loaf of crusty white bread to dip in, with the colour & the texture of the split peas and the terrific smokey flavour from the bacon.
I think the unique combination of carrots & butterbeans, is a wonderful soup that is just a little bit different. A fabulous choice for a light and tasty lunch, especially with a hunk of crusty bread.
I love the simplicity and delicate subtlety of this recipe. I often add my own finishing touches & garnish with a crumbled feta cheese or a generous dollop of crème fraiche.
