My version of Lidl's Italiamo range - Red and Yellow Pepper & Chilli Soup
My version of Lidl's Italiamo Red and Yellow Pepper & Chilli Soup, and yes I should of cleaned the bowl for the photo but I did clear the bowl when I ate it. Lidl's Italiamo range of Italian fare is great and this soup is fantastic, I'd bought a couple of tins, lunch at work is usually soup, and then when spotting it next in Lidl I bought more tins. But Lidl's ranges of unusual food changes so I thought I'd try to make an equivalent copy. And this is pretty much as good.
