Roasted Red Pepper Soup - I'm starting off the new year with a very simple yet flavoursome soup. I think it was the zingy, bright colour that persuaded me to share this recipe. It's been quite a drab day here today so some orangey red goodness seemed just the thing to lift my spirits. Although … Continue reading Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Haggis Soup (vegetarian and vegan)
I'm getting this recipe in slightly ahead of time - you may need it on the 1st December. I adore veggie haggis, so St Andrew's day is a good excuse to indulge. Like many others across Scotland, I'll be tucking in to a feast of haggis, tatties and neeps on the 30th November and will … Continue reading Haggis Soup (vegetarian and vegan)
Zuppa 2018 – Oatmeal Soup
My blog has been very quiet lately - sorry about that. There was a reason though - in addition to all the usual hectic 'real life' stuff going on. I was a finalist in Zuppa 2018 - a competition organised by the Giraffe Cafe as part of the Great Perthshire Picnic! Giraffe are a social … Continue reading Zuppa 2018 – Oatmeal Soup

Those of us that are Scottish and over a certain age will remember the horror of using turnips for our lanterns instead. Although the final result could look great and quite scary, the sheer … Continue reading Pumpkin Round-up!
Roast Beetroot Soup
I realise some people are slightly sceptical about beetroot soup. I was a bit of a latecomer to it too but I'm not really sure why - it's delicious. Perhaps it's because most of the beetroot I had as a child was pickled and it is the pickled variety that springs to mind whenever beetroot … Continue reading Roast Beetroot Soup
Sweet Potato and Pear Soup
I've been looking forward to sharing this recipe for ages! I had to wait though as I like to use the pears from the tree in my garden. Well, I say I like to use them. I have so many that I need loads of different recipes and ideas to prevent them going to waste. … Continue reading Sweet Potato and Pear Soup
‘Vintage’ Oatmeal Soup
My latest soup has a vintage twist. The recipe comes from my family heirloom - the Scottish Women's Rural Institutes Cookery Book! This was oringinally my Mum's - given to her in the 1950s when she worked for the printer. It was really popular at the time and getting a copy was considered a real … Continue reading ‘Vintage’ Oatmeal Soup
Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup: a super-pimped soup pack!
Such a quick and easy make, with pretty impressive results! I'm not sure I should really call this a recipe. It's really a tale of a solitary supermarket soup pack and some assembled bits and pieces I had in my kitchen. I do love a good shortcut, so occasionally turn to a soup pack when … Continue reading Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup: a super-pimped soup pack!
