They say that every cloud has a silver lining and though summer still seems a long way off, it does mean you can slurp big bowls of hearty, nutrition-packed, homemade soup! This is one of Patrick’s absolute favourites since it’s super quick to make but beats the pants off any of the store bought alternatives. We’ve added a kick of chilli to raise your temperature that little bit more and fight off any winter colds. Enjoy!
