I was in two minds about sharing this recipe as we are now well into spring. However, our snowy weather means a traditional mushroom soup is just the ticket for a cold day like this. You'll see that my recipe uses 'a mix' of mushrooms. It's a good way of using up any leftovers you … Continue reading Mushroom Soup
I don't have a soup recipe for you but I do have some inspiration... in the form of my weekly veg box. I recently subscribed to a regular veg box from my local greengrocers - Martin's Fruit Bazaar and thought I should say a bit about it. I found myself in a bit of a … Continue reading Look at all that lovely veg!
My week in soup - one bowl at a time January is national soup month so I thought I'd take the opportunity to say a bit about my blog. I thought the easiest way to do that was to show you my typical soup week and say a bit about batch cooking, freezing and containers! … Continue reading My week in soup – one bowl at a time
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)
This recipe is a bit of a bonus. I hadn't planned on sharing a new recipe today but was so excited about this one, I just had to try it. It comes courtesy of my friend Alison. We were at a party on Saturday night and started talking soup. I know, I know! We did … Continue reading Broccoli and Coconut Soup

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
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!
Courgette glut? You're not alone! Aida suggested she had a few courgettes going spare and asked if anyone wanted some. Never one to turn down free veg, I obviously said yes. I didn't really expect two bags of the largest courgettes I had ever seen - all organic and grown on her own allotment. Thank … Continue reading Courgette and Potato Soup
Yes, you heard me correctly - Avocado Soup! It's delicious! This is another soup that is easily adapted and great for using up bits and pieces languishing in your fridge or store cupboard. Not enough chickpeas to make a topping and create a broth? Replace with white beans, or potato, celery, carrots - whatever you … Continue reading Avocado Soup with Harissa Chickpeas
This soup definitely deserves an exclamation mark. It is just so good! It is a lifelong favourite and I find myself longing for a bowl as soon as the weather heats up. This is a chilled soup. I remove it from the fridge about 5 minutes before serving. If it's too cold, the flavours don't … Continue reading Gazpacho!
