Multi Root Vegetable Soup with Mace
The language of the heart – fantastic for those cold nights, next to a fireplace with your loved ones… straight up, this is my most loved and favourite soup recipe! The texture of the root vegetables and the flavour of the mace are just such a great compliment to one another. If you like, some rye bread goes down really well to finish off the notes of this flavour combination symphony!
