This is my favourite soup at the moment, perfect for chilly days and cool nights. Packed with vitamin C to fight off winter colds and easy to prepare, this is sure to be your family's favourite too.

I always loved tomato soup but the feta and parsley, something I learned from the lovely B (she knows who she is), takes this soup to a new level.
I recently made this soup for a casual dinner with friends and was amazed that all the ingredients, plus a lovely sourdough and a huge bowl of new season strawberries cost less than $30. Amazing to be able to serve such a delicious meal to six people for $5 a head. So no excuses, put the ingredients on your shopping list this week, cook and enjoy.
