If you can take the heat then this soup is perfect - I however am not into hot and so found this recipe to be only chilli. It lacked the depth of flavour I would normally have in my own recipes but every now and then, one has to follow someone else's. This recipe was … Continue reading Recipe For Chilli Prawn Soup
Woolworths have just launched a new range of pork sausages and as we enjoyed these so much on our visit to England in 2009 I decided to try them.
