A lovely soup for a cold evening (and we have plenty of these now…). And vegan (unless you add the cream of course).

This is one of Karl’s (many) specials. Perfect for the autumn weather we are having now (rain, rain, rain and some more rain…). Quick prepping but it helps if you let it simmer for a while.
