Soup recipes

Actually, anyone looking for inspiration, click on the Riverford link and look down the left-hand bar - some really lovely sounding soups there! I think I might try parsnip, leek and lemon as I have some sorry-looking parsnips lurking at the bottom of the fridge

I have a pan on at the moment. Im having an organic veg box delivered tomorow, my first one, so I thought id use all the odd bits of veg left in the freezer. I have used half a turnip, loads of parsnips, celery, sweet potato, carrots and potato, a good pint and half of stock, some herbs, pepper and a sprinkle of curry powder. Hope it turns out nice

I've just started making soups over the past couple of months. I find though I don't do one particular "type", I just chuck in what veg I have, a couple of stock cubes, maybe some dried mixed herbs and hope for the best . They've always tasted lovely and always have enough for another couple of servings to either scoff the next day or freeze.

I had beetroot and tomato soup for lunch today - put in a bit of ground cinnamon and some ground cumin, and a swirl of natural yoghurt, it was lovely

I plan to have a go at the cauliflower soup tomorrow, sounds lovely.

Sounds good. Might skip the yoghurt/sour cream bit though. Dairy doesn't agree with me. :rolleyes:

I learned to make soup about 2 years ago, from this forum. First I followed a recipe, then experimented and now I do whatever I fancy. Making some leek and potato soup today but I tend to make soup from reduced price veg or seasonal veg. Its even more satisfying when you know it cost pence to make. I got a stick blender for Christmas, was using a food processer before but got fed up with all the washing up. That stick blender is fantastic. I hate gadgets that I wont use so always think carefully if I really need it or not (still havent got a breadmaker or George Forman grill). This blender was a winner and only £10!

Oh yes, definitely second that re the stick blender, it's been my most-used kitchen gadget for the last few years. We have one with a little chopping attachment and that's really useful too

Thanks. I get fed up of washing up the food processor blender bits for soup. Wonder if I can convince OH that we need another kitchen "gadget" ???

If it was me I'd just to soup with chunks in as I like it that way - but OH likes it thick without bits in - unless it's potato or noodles :rolleyes:
