Our veg bundle is perfect for winter soups
You’ll be able to find most of the ingredients for this winter soup recipe in our Back to basics bundle. However, to reduce food waste you can swap sweet potatoes for regular potatoes if you have any leftovers.
Pro tip: Keep leftover veg scraps in the freezer. When you’ve got enough you can boil them up to make your very own zero-waste vegetable stock. Saving money and the planet all in one pan!
