I have looked through all the soup recepies to inspire me to change my "boring vegie soup" that I cook every winter, to something easy yet yummy, So I have made my vegie soup with all the usual vegies, pumpkin potato swede parsnip onions carrots but now I am going to add some Morrocan spices to it, i have put split peas and a hock in the soup but by adding some other flavours I think I have managed to change the old fashioned "vegie soup" so thank you fresh for the easy to follow steps on the site, I have made my soup still heathy with all the vegies yet with a few spices i have managed to create another soup.
