Once oagain I did not put quantities in as soups I cook according to the availability of ingredients and of course for how many people. If you don't feel like making your own vegtable stock, buy a good quality ready available vegtable stock BUT under no circumstances use cubes! Read more !!! It takes a long time to cook but trust me it is devine and I cook huge quantities and freeze it in single portions.... nothing as nice as having a cuppa for comfort! See less
