This is for all my soup lovers out there! If I could choose one meal to eat for the rest of my life, it would without a doubt be soup. I find it so satisfying, flavourful and nourishing. Such an amazing way to get in lots of fibre, vegetables, healthy fats and protein all into one steaming hot bowl. OH and I also have a weird thing for bowls and spoons. I eat most things out of a bowl if I can… is this normal? Anyways, this soup is super creamy and so full of bacon-y flavour! This pairs so well with a fresh green salad, sandwich or fresh baked bread.
I really do mean it when I say that IF I had to choose something to eat for the rest of my life, it would be soup. Hands down, no second guessing, that’s just what it would be. Im curious to know what you would eat for the rest of your life if you HAD to choose? Comment below and let me know!
