Hungarian Bean and Ham Soup
by Tenina Holder
Um,YUM. I don't like to play favourites, but this did need to be tested more than once, and nobody complained ... it is delicious. I hope you love it as much as my family loves it. I know its a bit early for soup, but we have seriously been having weird weather in Australia haven’t we? Can I get an amen?? So if you happen to have a cold rainy day, even though it’s been blisteringly hot the day before, trot this one out! You’ll thank me.
