It's Home Made Soup Day!

We are big fans of a hearty home made soup at Ellie Ellie HQ, so being Home Made Soup Day we thought we'd give you a favourite yummy recipe of ours for you to try at home!

Danielle loves making her leek and potato soup, always cooking a big batch and freezing individual portions to bring into the office, this is a great way to save time in the morning!
