Support and enthusiasm, in whatever form is always gratefully received. <br /><br />While it might not seem like a big variety of vegetables, there's still 3plus serves per person, in the soup, so it's a good proportion of your daily five! Although I've been thinking some additional mushrooms and peas would also be good.<br /><br />Thanks again for your contribution Johanna.kathrynhttp://kathrynelliott.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-85446129848726174222010-04-20T20:37:37.666+10:002010-04-20T20:37:37.666+10:00thanks Nic - glad I can give back a bit of the ins...thanks Nic - glad I can give back a bit of the inspiration I am constantly finding on blogs - tomatoes named Stupice amused me - just too close to 'stupid' to be taken seriously!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-84201478045263150442010-04-20T17:23:45.708+10:002010-04-20T17:23:45.708+10:00what a hearty looking soup, It's making me hu...what a hearty looking soup, It's making me hungry and it's only breakfast time here!<br />The tomatoes are amazing and I love that reading other people\s blogs opens your eyes to a whole other world of vegetable varieties.
