I just know you are just going to love my retro crockery collection over the coming months. We live near the vibrant market town Hungerford which is renowned for its antique shops and I have been raiding the cellars! This delightful soup bowl is just one of them!
This beautiful pea-green soup is packed full of goodness, such as iron-rich spinach (which is best eaten cooked for maximum absorption of this important nutrient), chlorophyll-full peas and fresh sweet mint!
That isn’t the best bit about this recipe though: the most important thing is that it is super delicious, contains just a few simple ingredients and is super, duper easy to make!
