I absolutely love cooking but hate the washing up that comes with it, so one pan foods are my absolute favourite! This easy dish is all about chuck it in and dish it up!
This recipe is one that my friend gave me after having it in a restaurant in Amsterdam and has quickly become one of our staple meals! Eating this meal always makes me feel good, and always goes down well with people I make it for.
This soup is especially good for rainy days where you need some good warm grub. It’s also a hit amongst peanut butter lovers and those who like a bit of spice. It can be left to cook without fuss so it is perfect for people with busy schedules.
I like to make a big batch and either share it with friends or save it for lunches so feel free to scale down the ingredients.
