Autumn is upon us, which means soup is back on the menu! Ordinarily, we tend to eat soup all year round, but this summer’s spate of heat waves made them less appealing that’s for sure! Continue reading “Comforting lentil and tomato soup”

Warming carrot and lentil soup
The sudden change in temperature has come as a bit of a shock. Only a few weeks ago, I was out and about in London one evening in only a light jacket commenting on how warm it was for November. That feels a long way away from this morning when I had to spend some time defrosting the car to get to an appointment! Continue reading “Warming carrot and lentil soup”
Yummy vegan golden soup
January is here, along with new year resolutions (that may or may not have gone by the wayside), chilly weather and what seems like a long time until the days start to lengthen and Spring pops up. Continue reading “Yummy vegan golden soup”

Creamy broccoli and courgette soup

It’s such a great way of getting even more vegetables and pulses or beans into our daily diet. Continue reading “Chickpea and sweet potato soup”
Smoky lentil and tomato soup
When I first started to run my course Eat Well Live Well, all about eating a whole-food plant-based diet, I used to cook lunch for the participants each week. It was hard work, but I learnt early on that eating was believing – and if people experienced how tasty the recipes given out each week were, they would want to have that in their lives every day. Continue reading “Smoky lentil and tomato soup”
Christmas spiced parsnip soup
Thick, warming parsnip soup is a firm favourite in our house during the winter season. And as parsnips are a traditional veg served up with festive feasts, it only seems right to celebrate this loyal root vegetable with a ‘souped up’ 🙂 Christmas spice version. Continue reading “Christmas spiced parsnip soup”

If you fancy something a little different, this yummy soup could be the thing. It’s packed full of gut-loving fibre and has a subtle savoury flavour. You could even pimp it up with some chopped chestnuts for a seasonal twist. Continue reading “Leek and celeriac soup”
