Hi all, I am hoping for a bit of help if you may

I love soups and I love them all year round but I am getting a tad fed up with the same old ones so I was hoping you lovely people may help me by sharing your recipes please.

The only thing I would say is that I usualy make in bulk so freezable recipes are a must. I am also trying to eat more healthy so including a variety of vegetable and little fat content would be preferable AND of course, in keeping with MSE, I am trying to keep cost to a minimum...........

Can anyone start me off with some recipes??

Here's 2 of my fav soup recipes..and they are so easy to make and taste delicious. x

Mushroom soup..

275G mushrooms
40g butter
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1tbsp butter/marg
1tbsp Plain flour
450ml Vegetable stock
450ml Milk
salt & pepper

Slice the mushrooms, heat the butter/marg in a saucepan, add the onions and mushrooms - fry for a couple of minutes, then cover and sweat over a gentle heat for 6-7mins stirring occasionally
Then stir in the flour and cook for 1 min gradually add the stock and milk to make a smooth thin sauce, add the salt & pepper
Bring to the boil and then simmer for 15mins
Allow it to cool then blend it all up...

Serve with warm bread...

Pumpkin soup...

25g butter/marg
1 large onion
675g Pumpkin (cut into large chunks)
450g potatoes (sliced)
600ml veg stock
600ml milk
salt and pepper

Heat butter/marg in saucepan, add onion and fry for 5mins until soft, add pumpkin and potatoes stir them well and cover with lid for 10mins until the vegetables are almost tender ( stir occasionally to prevent them sticking to the bottom of the pan)
pour in the stock and add the salt and pepper, bring liquid to the boil and then simmer for 10mins until the vegetables are completely tender

Allow it to cool and then blend, once blended pour it back into the saucepan and add the milk, heat gently then serve..

I love this soup as it's so tasty but dead easy to make

Pea and Mint Soup
1 onion diced
1 crushed clove garlic
2/3 pint chicken or veg stock
1kg bag of frozen peas
Salt and pepper
Choice of either fresh mint or bacon bits

Fry onion til soft, then garlic. Add frozen peas, stock and seasoning. Bring to boil for just a few minutes, cool slightly. Blend in blender. Add fresh mint (don't over-so it as it's quite powerful!) and blend again. Alternatively add fried bacon bits but don't blend.

This makes 4 big bowls of soup comfortably. The mint version is nice as a gazpacho too.
