Autumn is by far my favourite season. It has sprinklings of beautiful soft rain, gives us perfect mild sunshine & the trees start dotting the garden floor with all their magnificently, fiery leaves. There's also soup. Comforting, thick, delicious soup (which is ALWAYS an excuse for warm, crusty bread). This recipe is very simple, but packs a huge, green health-punch while maintaining the reassuring embrace that a good soup should.
