This simple minestrone is inspired by a Stefano de Pieri recipe. It’s brilliant as is or you can add a can of drained beans or chickpeas … or a handful of pasta if you’d like more of a substantial soup. If there’s a veggie here you don’t like … just leave it out. The soup will still be great!
I like it like the recipe below, though … It feels light and healthy and is just the thing if you’re feeling a bit peaky and in need of a vegetable infusion.
I’m in need of SOME kind of infusion, lemme tell you! Cam’s memorial was on Sunday and it was a big and exhausting day. Now all I want to do is eat soup, drink tea, snack on toast and listen to audiobooks in bed. Alas I am behind on my study so I am going to catch up this week and get things back on track. But I will still eat soup, drink tea, snack on toast and listen to audiobooks in bed … in between the catching up! I promise I will!
Have you listened to a good audiobook recently, pals?
Tell me about it?

PS: SOUP for you!
Oh Pip, have you read the Chronicles of St Mary's books? I'm absolutely addicted, they're so fab. The audiobooks read by Zara Ramm are brilliant. Tucked up on the couch, Oodie on, with CoSM and a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Bliss!
I hope you are all on your way to being ok Pip.
