Hearty veg and bacon soup

Chunky Veg Broth

On long, chilly, grey winter days when you think the outside will never dry out and the sun may well not shine again this side of oblivion, I like to get a steamy bowlful of this inside me. It’s super hearty and totally filling. Best enjoyed under a blanket with a familiar box-set to dive into. The seitan bacon is optional but encouraged x
