I found this on another website and it has become a family favourite. It's easy, healthy, and freezes really well. What more could you ask for? The original recipe calls for a small tin of sliced mushrooms, but I find a lot of people don't like mushies, so I leave them out.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A little bit of cumin, chili powder, or paprika can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your soup.
  • Cook the soup on low heat for a long time. This will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more tender.
  • Add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to each bowl of soup. This will add a creamy richness that will help to balance out the flavors of the soup.
