    I made this as a meal and served with hot crispy rolls. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and asked me to make it again, it was very filling. Excellent!

    Great flavours, very thick soup though. I'd also add more stock as mine was almost like mash! Had to double portions which made it higher calorie. Maybe I'm just greedy?

    This soup really does give a kick, really spicy and thick. I made it in advance for my lunch at work and it is great. Even saved some in the freezer for another time.
