A lovely soup, which my husband prepared earlier in the day, and re-heated when we came home in the evening. It was a little spicier than we expected, that's when we discovered that he had used a tin of tomato sauce with added chilli, fortunately, we felt that this only added to the dish! Served with crusty bread, this was a warming and delicious supper, we enjoyed it very much! Thank you, Mami Janine! Made for ZWT5
