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
This tasty recipe came to my attention in quite a roundabout way, not that that’s a bad thing. 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
Tonight's soup isn't the recipe I'd intended posting - actually it isn't a recipe at all, more like some encouragement to use up your leftovers. I have a gorgeous recipe from my friend at @bright_copper_kettels on Instagram that I'm dying to try out (more of that later in the week). However, life got in the … Continue reading Fridge soup
Look at the colour! What’s not to love about such a green and vibrant soup? The last two recipes I’ve shared with you have been really hearty and could definitely be a meal in themselves. Today’s soup is much lighter and more easily eaten as part of a larger meal, although I will be having … Continue reading Pea, spinach and mint soup
When I started my blog I asked some friends for their own soup recipe - either their absolute favourite or one that means something to them. Emilia from Food Notes (@FoodNotesGla) instantly came up trumps with this recipe for Bean Soup, a traditional Bulgarian soup served on Christmas Eve. Emilia explains more about this Bulgarian … Continue reading Emilia’s Bulgarian Bean Soup
Burns Night is coming up on the 25 January so I think it is time to share my recipe for Scotch Broth, a staple dish at many a Burns Supper. I realise this is one recipe that almost all Scots will have mastered but I do have blog followers from all around the world and … Continue reading Scotch Broth
