Brown Windsor Beef Soup
"This is one of those soups that for years has had a terrible reputation as the dreadful 'Brown soup' served up routinely in boarding houses before and after World War II. However, properly made this is a great British soup and well worth trying."

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
