Courgette Soup I was recently asked if I had a Courgette Soup (aka zucchini) recipe on twitter so after flicking through some old recipes of my mother’s I came up with this recipe. Back in the 70’s my mother went to cookery evening classes as she was a very keen cook and always wanting to…

Curried Pumpkin Soup
Curried Pumpkin Soup As usual we had a pumpkin on the doorstep this Halloween and whereas years ago I never thought to do anything with the scraped out flesh, these days I am very aware of food waste! Last year’s pumpkin was turned into my mother in law’s 80th birthday Pumpkin Fruit Cake but this…
Carrot & Coriander Soup
Carrot & Coriander Soup Today I decided I wanted to give the family a healthy low fat lunch and spotting a large bag of carrots and some leftover coriander in the fridge it didn’t take me long to decide to make Carrot & Coriander Soup. I’d been out to the dentist and buying last minute…
Roasted Tomato, Red Pepper and Chorizo Soup
Roasted Tomato, Red Pepper and Chorizo Soup Yesterday I found myself with a glut of vine tomatoes, peppers and a pack of chorizo and knowing that I had to go to my son’s school in the evening I decided to make this Roasted Tomato, Red Pepper and Chorizo Soup that I could quickly re-heat. I…
Chilled Picante Summer Soup
Chilled Picante Summer Soup I was very excited to be invited to take part in a Virtual Blogger Come Dine With Me organised by Russell Hobbs in which I could use any of their Illumina range of products to make my course. I was allocated the starter and after unpacking all 5 of my new…
Cream of Tomato & Basil Soup
I came up with my Cream of Tomato & Basil Soup after my husband had a yearning for a tin of Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup but the cupboard was bare. Within 20 or so minutes we were eating my home-made version and as nice as Heinz is you can’t beat freshly made soup for…
Lentil & Ham Soup
Lentil & Ham Soup Today I’m sharing with you my Lentil & Ham Soup! I hope you had a really good Christmas and managed to stay dry and well! My part of the world was struck by all the flooding which caused many roads to be closed and meant that my husband had to take…
Quick Tom Yum Soup with Poached Egg
I had been meaning to post my Quick Tom Yum Soup with Poached Egg recipe for a long time. I used to make it all the time and then just fell out of the habit. Today I noticed a lonely jar of Tom Yum Soup Paste at the back of the cupboard and remembered I had…
Leftover Winter Vegetable Soup
I made this Leftover Winter Vegetable Soup just before Christmas as I’d made a glazed gammon joint and therefore had lovely gammon stock and vegetables left over from it. I was also very aware that like most Brits I’d over bought on the sprout front and had a bag I needed to use up before…
Carrot and Parsley Soup
Finding myself with a glut of carrots and parsley I decided that the two must amalgamate in the form of a Carrot & Parsley Soup. Parsley is bursting with vitamins and minerals and is particularly beneficial for healthy skin and hair. My chief taste tester (my husband) came back for another bowl full at lunch…
