Fridge Raid Soup
We find it hard to choose between the best vegan soup recipes, but we were surprised at how delicious we could make a soup with left overs in our fridge...and we are here to show how you how you can do the same. The BOSH! fridge raid soup is a great way to use up excess veggies and can be eaten all year round for lunch or dinner. Making a big batch of soup and taking it to work is a great way to save money and guarantee healthiness. Feel free to freestyle your own soup with different ingredients. Just use this technique loosely, and you'll be good to go!
