Hi guys just sharing my healthy eating recipes

Love a decent soup . Weather here has improved so more a mixed salad this week but it will turn cooler rapidly . I love crusty bread and butter with mine but will have to just have the soup for a while . You seem to know what you are doing and your bowl full looks yummy .

Have you tried with crème fraiche? I can’t have cream because of the amount of fat in it . Not a fuss pot but have no gall bladder . Soup is a great lunch and I make double and either freeze or have next day .
