This recipe is adapted from the amazing I Breathe I’m Hungry Turbo Atkins Soup – created as part of a low carb keto reset.  I enjoyed the flavour so much I thought I would punch it out a little – plus it makes an excellent amount to keep in the fridge for lunches and also have in the freezer for those Cant Be Buggered days.
