Making Pam Corbin’s River Cottage Preserves souper mix

I can’t take the credit for this gorgeous example of Pam Corbin’s ‘souper mix’.  But as my friend Sylvia is something of a domestic goddess and loves the river cottage preserves handbook as much as me it seemed only right to share her success of one of the many bookmarked recipes in my copy.  I can’t even claim it’s because I’m so busy with my toddler – Sylvia has 4 children and manages to make amazing home cooked meals every day.  It’s just as well she’s so lovely or I’d shrink away from her awesomeness as I head home to my omelette and toast.  One day E will be bigger and getting back to cooking proper meals will seem more manageable!
