My sister calls this enthusiasm soup (you throw everything you have at it). Meaning its a great fridge raid soup to make when it’s the week before payday and you have to use what you can find at home.
So feel free to make this your own based on what you have in the fridge/cupboards. I was feeling kind of lazy and chopped all the vegetables on a food processer which made this even quicker to make.
