SOUP FOR SUMMER

Soup is such a versatile, nutritious dish,it' s a good one for children to learn. If you have little children, you'll need to oversee, or do, the chopping and cooking of course, but they can watch to see how it's done, and chip in with some of the prep. This recipe makes the most of seasonal broad beans, which are fantastic with gammon. We've used unsmoked gammon but you could also use

smoked for a deeper Havour. Mint adds a layer of fresh, bright zing that's perfect for early summer. There's no need for a blender, as the soup is meant to chunky.

London is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly. London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence.

TOWER BRIDGE is a bridge of London situated on the River Thames. Its name (which means tower bridge) comes from the fact that connects the district of Southwark to the Tower of London. The Tower Bridge is s

bridge rather recent (begun in 1889 and finished in 1894) which, thanks to

modern technology , is able to open within 90 seconds to let the ships go

up to London Bridge.

Big Ben is the name of the Great Clock of Westminster, on the Clock Tower (dedicated to Saint Stephen ), located at the north-east corner of the Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament in London. Traditionally the whole clock tower is called Big Ben, 96.3 meters high, built in Gothic Revival style. The official name of the tower, however, became Elizabeth Tower at the end of June 2012 on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth.Officially, the name of the ball (one of the five clock), however, is “Great Bell”. We have no definite information as to the origin of the name “Big Ben”, but there are two theories about.The first claims that the name derives from Sir Benjamin Hall, a member of the House of Commons and the works supervisor for the reconstruction of the Palace of Westminster. The second holds that the name derives from the name of the heavyweight champion of boxing Benjamin Caunt, who fought his last fight in 1857.

The palace has around 600 rooms including: 19 state rooms, 51 royal and guest bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, 91 office and a cinema and a swimming pool. It also its own post office and police station. About 400 people work at
