With winter fast approaching it's time for warm, stodgy comfort food. Bursting with flavour and spice, this naturally gluten free lentil and gammon soup is one of my ultimate favourites. It freezes well to batch cook and bring out as a quick meal, just, make sure it is fully cold before popping into a freezable container.
