Oh how easy to make and how tasty to eat! I used all of the suggested herbs, straight from my garden, and also popped a bit of red pepper that I had lying around in to the broth too. We ate this with French bread and I popped the rest into the freezer for later. Made for the Veggie recipe swap in the Vegetarian forum and VERY much enjoyed thanks JB! FT:-)
