  4. Looks lovely and this baby pasta is super cute! I used to use it for my daughter when she was a baby ;) I'm big fan of soups, could live on them... no need for main course.

  5. That looks thoroughly delicious Nayna. We eat loads of soup, but as we tend to bung in whatever we have to hand, it turns out differently every time.
