“Coming from a farming background, this soup and bread are family favourites and conjure up many happy childhood memories. It is a hearty meal, full of goodness, and versatile in that you can easily vary the vegetables depending on the season and what might be available. The caraway seeds offer a background flavour that adds depth, while the crunch of the bread presents another texture and complements the sweetness of the soup. The chia seeds, being a super food, are among the healthiest foods on the planet. On top of that, they (along with the other seeds) make the bread more interesting by enhancing both texture and flavour. The bread is equally delicious toasted with a dollop of butter on top!”
