Linseed soup with red curry

Soups is a great way to make home-made food, as you can make a extra portion for later use, when you do not have a lot of time to prepare a home-cook meal on a busy day. The extra portion can either be stored cold for use later on in the week or frozen for much later use.

I have found this recipe in the magazine "Isabellas" (issue 01/2017). I decided to added in some tomatoes as a way of reducing food waste in my kitchen. Other wise I did not make any modifications.
