I love the soup!
Especially in winter time we eat a lot of soup and it has to be low fat too.

Thanks.

One of my favourites!

Do you want Darren Grant’s Grandmother’s receipe for Beer and Beetroot tonic? I make it each spring when the beetroot comes up – I use organic beetroot, but also Guinness, suppose that’s not organic….

Anyway, great idea, Mary
