I'm sticking with the green theme! I was looking back at my recent recipes and noticed a bit of a green trend going on. Spring is in the air. I don't have any particular reason for my choice of recipe this week. I just fancied some watercress soup. This is a quick and easy recipe … Continue reading Quick and Easy Watercress Soup
Asparagus season is almost upon us! Fresh, local asparagus is surely one of the best treats Mother Nature has to offer and I for one really look forward to asparagus season. My local asparagus producer is Eassie Farm, a family run business based in Angus, Scotland. I was fortunate enough to visit the farm as … Continue reading Cream of Asparagus Soup
Hungry? In a rush? No time for much food prep? Egg drop soup is the dish for you! This soup came to my rescue one evening last week - I was late home, had only a few items in my fridge and couldn't be bothered shopping. I actually felt quite nostalgic when I made this. … Continue reading Egg Drop Soup
Leek and potato soup won't win any prizes for presentation, but boy is it tasty. This classic soup is easy to make in under 30 minutes - very handy if you have unexpected guests. It also freezes well and I tend to have a few portions in my freezer 'just in case'. Tasty, easy, quick … Continue reading Leek and Potato Soup
I thought I'd give the weather a bit of a nudge this week. If I make a spring soup, our wintry weather is bound to go - isn't it? Well, we'll see. I fancied a lighter soup with a good range of fresh veg, so opted for a spring vegetable minestrone. Most recipes for this … Continue reading Spring Vegetable Minestrone

My partner received an electronic Christmas card from New College Lanarkshire and this recipe was one of a few they included. That’s my kind of card!I only have a note of the recipe so can’t embed a … Continue reading Spiced Parsnip Soup
Although this is titled Sophie's soup, the recipe came via my friend Jane from Life on a Small Island (a blog definitely worth following). When Jane and Sophie were at Edinburgh College of Art, they used to make this soup when they 'needed to feed 10 folk on £2.50'. (We've all been there and it's … Continue reading Sophie’s Potato and Sweetcorn Chowder
My latest soup is the result of a rummage in my freezer, initial disappointment and a bright idea. Most of Scotland has been shivering under a huge snowfall and, as roads and rail links were closed for a while, many shops have sold out of fresh vegetables. I know it's just a blip and isn't … Continue reading Spicy lentil soup
Of all the soups I've ever made, this is my favourite. I really can't express just how much flavour was packed into this pot of soup. Let's just say it was a LOT! Even my other half agreed this soup was my personal best, high praise indeed. I started the weekend with a quick trip … Continue reading Totally tasty tomato soup!
At last! Sarah from @bright_copper_kettles gave me her recipe a few weeks ago now and I’ve been dying to try it. So why the wait? Well...Sarah suggests Grape-Nuts as an optional ingredient. I haven’t had Grape-Nuts for over a decade so thought I’d give that option a go. Could I find them in my local … Continue reading Sarah’s ‘Everything but the kitchen sink’ vegan ramen
