Down here in Australia, winter is starting to set in. One thing I do love about winter is a great soup!!! Last night I made a delicious chicken noodle Soup which will see me through for my work lunches for the next week at least.

Can you share any of your warm, hearty soup recipes with me please??

I have a few in my arsenal, a pretty good vegetable soup and an amazing curried pumpkin soup, but would like something new to try.

Give me your best....
