MOAR SOUP. You can probably tell how much I love soup. It’s usually cheap (unless it’s mushroom) and such an easy lunch, make one lot at the beginning of the week and you’re sorted. This makes 4 very generous, very filling portions, and has a nice kick to it from the pesto, and the veg feels nice and spring-ish. Remember to make sure you find veggie-friendly pesto. Also, bonus super-short making time on this’un, 20 minutes tops. Original recipe from the BBC Good Food site.
