I'm not sure how many it feeds because we've never finished it all in one go, but I would guess around 16 people as it yields about 4 litres of soup. i find it’s the perfect batch cooked meal for lunches all week. This soup can also be used as the base for tomato sauces for pasta or pizza during the week. I like to store leftovers in glass bottles so you can pour out a portion at a time - just be sure to allow the soup to cool before bottling
