Thanks v. much for this one. It's mostly potato (mashed) and tofu with a cup of

spinach leaves, I see, all very nutritious and flavoured brilliantly with the

herbs and spices. Must try. What I like is that as long as you have the herbs

and spices in (and people on this group are likely to have that) then this soup

should be able to be thrown together rather quickly from what's in the fridge.

I'm filing it under, what else, Soups

 

Best,
