An Excuse for Soup

After yet another weekend of cold weather you wouldn't think it was officially spring and that British Summer Time begins next weekend, would you? While many of us are more than ready for warm sunny days, before they finally arrive make the most of the lingering days of what still feels like winter to make some more soups. After all, a bowl of steaming soup never tastes quite as good in summer as it does on a cold autumn or winter's day. Whether you've got veg to use or simply want something to warm you up, get out the soup pan and get chopping!

Any mix goes, but what about some of the following?

Root vegetables
  • Parsnip, apple and ginger
  • Curried parsnip
  • Carrot, tomato and chili
  • Spiced carrot and lentil (with cumin)
  • Carrot, swede and butterbean
  • Swede and butternut squash with paprika
  • Beetroot soup
 Green vegetables
  • Cabbage and cannellini bean
  • Pak choi and ginger
  • Spinach, tomato and basil
  • Broccoli and celery
  • Green bean and sweet potato
  • Pea and mint
Tomato based
  • Tomato, red pepper and chili
  • Roasted tomato and onion with chipotle
  • Tomato and courgette spiced with turmeric
  • Tomato and aubergine with coriander
Happy soup making, but may warm summer days be with us soon!
