Continuing our October recipe theme of easy and warming Soups, Stews & Winter Warmers, we have a great option for you here! This one can be either Vegetarian or not, depending on who you are catering for - either version is super yummy! 

This recipe is another firm favourite in our house, not least because it is SO easy, and still so tasty.

As a vegetarian, my vote goes to the chickpea version, but my partner Nick, well he definitely prefers the one made with chicken! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
