This is perfect for right about now in the UK. As temperatures ’soar’ to almost 30 degrees and the country comes to a grinding halt (sorry this still makes me laugh after years of living in 30+ for months on end in Oz), this is a cooling, refreshing, alkalising and energising soup that takes minutes to make.
