I love L&P soup. My variation is that I add a small onion and use 2 leeks for extra flavour.

A sprinkling of cheese on the top when serving is delish

I have just made one with stock, sweet potato, onion, chickpeas, spinach, coconut milk, thai spices and red thai paste and lime juice - oh and a pinch of dried ginger. Sounds a bit odd, but tastes amazing!

I also like leek and potato soup with blue cheese melted into it

And I make a quickie soup with stock, onions, garlic, crispy smoky bacon, mushy peas, frozen peas, onion and a dash of cream

And a creamy cauliflower soup using frozen cauli, garlic, onion, stock and blue cheese, with some nutmeg grated on top

Oh and one with stock, onions, garlic, roasted red peppers, lentils, butternut squash, celery and whatever other bits I have lying around.

Can you tell I am a huge soup fan! I can't offer exact recipes though, as I make them up as I go along

Roast tomato soup.

Cut a pile of tomoatos in half and put in a roasting tin, throw in a few cloves of garlic, (I like a whole bulb) add basil, thyme, salt and pepper, a sprinkling of brown sugar and toss it all in olive oil.

Roast for about an hour and then scrape it all out into a pan with some stock and blitz it.

I quite like adding a chilli or two, or a pepper if i have one. I did have a proper recipe for this but it has been lost in the mists of time and now I just throw it all together and a bit of this n that until it looks good!

I do a tomato and basil one that always goes down well although it does use a lot of tinned toms.

3 tins of tomatoes
3 carrots
3 sticks of celery
1 onion
1 pint of veg stock
seasoning

Sweat off veg, chuck in toms, seasoning and stock and bring to boil then simmer for about 20 mins. Chuck in basil and cook for a bit longer. Blend when cool.

Also did lentil and bacon last week.

1 pack of bacon lardons
1 onion
2 sticks of celery
2 carrots
1 1/2 pints of veg stock
150g red lentils
Black Pepper

Cook bacon then chuck in veg and sweat. Chuck in stock and lentils. Bring to boil then simmer for around 40 mins. Blend when cool.

You will note that mine are of the chuck it in variety:)
