Get well soon soup / casserole
Annie has not been so well for the last few days, so now that she's up to eating again, I thought I would have a bash at my own version of homemade soup for flu and cold as it is supposed to be remedial. Now it's made, it looks more of a casserole than a soup, a posh soup maybe?
I can use it as another excuse to play with Taste Sensation's seasonings and I can serve it with Knicat Bakeries marvellous Pammie's Baps.
I'm cooking it in the slow cooker but could be cooked in half the time if you needed. A nice and lazy way to cook it on the day before Christmas.
