Made this incredible soup today, I seriously recommend you try it. Inspired by the great @DeliaonlineBorlotti and Pasta Soup, this one is a bit lighter and quicker.⠀
⠀
I would always recommend using herbs and spices in your cooking for their powerful medicinal qualities, and this soup is delicious with the rosemary, slightly unusual and warming.⠀
⠀
✨Rosemary is an amazing stimulant, great for cognition and for someone with a low appetite, such as after an illness.⠀
✨It strengthens memory, helps to boost the immune system and is often used for digestive issues like heartburn and gas⠀
✨Like garlic it is a potent antioxidant and highly anti-inflammatory⠀

Half a punnet of tomatoes, or 1 large tomato or a handful of cherry tomatoes chopped ⠀
Stock, vegetable or chicken as you prefer⠀
