  Sorry, found the greens overpowered everything else, both in flavour and texture. Would eat it again (just as well because there are some leftovers) but won't be going out of my way to make it again...

  Amaaaaaaazing recipe...super non-hassle to make and nourishing. As I'm not a fan of chard nor spinach and I noted the comment from the person i above....I added 100g only of rocket instead....was so nice - it'll be one of my staple soup options from now on in.

  Easy and delicious! Mine wasn't vegetarian- I had a leftover roast chicken to make stock from. I used spinach as the green, which was mild and not overpowering. I'll definitely make this again.

  This was delicious! I had to add lots more water and I used butter beans and added some fresh basil at the end. Definitely a new favourite.
