I know a lot of adults out there add a drop of whisky to their late night milky beverage but this recipe I came across has a very distinct Christmassy feel to it and there’s no need for milk.

There’s enough to serve four people but it’s easy enough to up or down the measurements depending on how many people you’re making it for. As the main ingredient in this is water it’s ideal over Christmas when maybe you want a hot chocolate drink but are running short of milk.

I’m a great lover of minestrone soup but tend to opt for the more convenient and quicker canned variety. However, this one caught my eye. It’s just simple to do with very limited preparation necessary!

With the onset of autumn I’m now looking towards quick, easy and cheap meals to tide me over the chilly months and came across this gorgeous dish! I am always looking for something quick but different to turn out for supper when I’m working late and equally something warm and comforting if I have a day out in the garden at this time of year and lose track of time!
