This delicious, warming and comforting recipe for smoked sausage, bean and root vegetable soup is from Rachel Allen's EasyMeals recipe book.
We still had some pretty cold weather mid April this year and when having a look through this recipe book, came across this soup recipe. David volunteered to make it while I was out one Saturday morning and I got to enjoy the fruits of his labour when I got home at lunch time.
It is ABSOLUTELY delicious and so full of flavour. Just like a big warm hug...but in a bowl of soup!! It's hearty and comforting all at the same time. Enjoy with some bread and butter on the side...perfect.
Tip
- This smoked sausage, bean and root vegetable soup is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
