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

Fridge soup
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
Pea, spinach and mint 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
Emilia’s Bulgarian Bean 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

I assume that’s because it is full of fresh tastes and textures, low in fat, low in carbs and still has a lovely warmth to … Continue reading Asian style broth
Jacki’s spicy winter vegetable soup
Today's soup is the first in an occasional series of guest recipes. There are so many great soup ideas out there, I thought it would be good to look for some inspiration from friends, family and fellow bloggers. Jacki was one of the first to respond to my request for soup inspiration, providing me with … Continue reading Jacki’s spicy winter vegetable soup
Bean making the most of leftovers
Today’s soup isn’t really a recipe but I thought it was worth sharing to show what can be achieved with leftovers. Actually, it’s a tale of things going wrong whilst using up leftovers and my subsequent determination to avoid food waste. I was making a batch of chili in an attempt to use up a … Continue reading Bean making the most of leftovers
Chestnut soup
Chestnut Soup I originally shared this post last January but I thought it would be good to share it before Christmas, as it really is a great option for the festive period. I also updated it with some ingredient swaps to ensure it is vegan friendly. My original post is below and I have just … Continue reading Chestnut soup
