There is nothing quite like a warm bowl of soup, whether it’s served as a starter or as a meal itself. My love for soup started with chicken noodle, always with extra noodles and has evolved into a love for creamy vegetable type soups also. It’s quick, easy and can be healthy. It’s also a great way to use up a big batch of veggies that may otherwise go to waste.
Although you can buy cans or packages of soup, making soup at home is almost just as easy and far more delicious. There is always vegetable and chicken stock cubes in my kitchen cupboard for this very reason.
Here are some of my family’s favourite soups:
- Baked potato soup
- Beef barley
- Cabbage soup
- Chicken noodle (sometimes I throw in chopped veggies and chicken pieces for a heartier version)
- Chickpeas and potatoes (Indian recipe available in my first cookbook coming soon)
- Chinese cream corn soup
- Cream of broccoli topped with shredded cheddar
- Cream of carrot spiked with ginger
- Cream of cauliflower topped with shredded cheddar
- Cream of celery with croutons for texture
- Cream of spinach (great way to use spinach before it welts)
- Cream of tomato served with bread to scoop
- French onion soup
- Italian wedding soup
- Japanese ramen noodle soup
- Lentil mix
- Pasta and beans
- Potato and leek
- Thai chicken coconut soup
- Tortellini soup
- Vegetable barley
