Delicious Vegetarian Minestrone Soup Recipe
I haven’t posted for a while, for couple of reasons – firstly, I’ve been madly busy but, secondly and most importantly, it’s been so unseasonably, ridiculously hot over the past month, with a record-breaking run of temperatures over 26°C for weeks on end.
