Soup for Every Day: 365 of Our Favourite Recipes

Product Information

The Parsnip, Apple & Elderflower was first to be tried. Weird. But nice. Very nice, in fact. It’s something that would be great at a picnic or BBQ. Strictly speaking, Slater’s recipe is billed as a spiced carrot soup, and he adds cumin and chilli as well, while New Covent Garden suggests a sprinkling of nutmeg, which is a nice idea in a creamier soup, though I’m going to keep my version strictly coriander-focused. Cut up the new coriander. Add the chopped stalks and half of the leaves to the pot. Simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the carrot and potato are soft. First of all I tried the Vintage Cheddar & Piccalilli flavour which is a British Ploughman’s in a bowl of soup featuring cheese, piccalilli, small chunks of vegetable and a hint of mustard. Slater finishes his soup with toasted cumin seeds, olive oil and microgreens, Tovey tops his with chopped parsley and serves croutons on the side, and Singh-Watson gives a whole list of garnish suggestions that, in addition to some of the above, includes toasted almonds, orange flower water, walnut, hazelnut and sesame oil and “one heaped teaspoon of ground mixed Moroccan spices, such as caraway and cumin with a little hot chilli”. If you’re short of time, or would just prefer to use that time otherwise (ie, eating the soup), you could easily just sprinkle chopped fresh coriander on top. My bright, green coriander puree is not just for show, however – dissolved in oil, the flavour of the herb is richer, and more intense, than my teenage self could ever dream of.

Take out of the oven and put the tomatoes, lemon juice, tomato puree, and sugar in a blender. If you need to, add water to make it smooth enough to pour.Start by roasting your courgettes whole in a hot oven until they are soft and slightly charred. This will add great flavour to your soup. The cheese adds a special touch to this soup, which makes it go from an everyday soup to a festive soup.Served with crispy, homemade croutons and a dash of sour cream, this light soup becomes a highlight. Tips for a good result Put on the pan on the stove and bring to the boil. At this point, I put my pan in the bottom (simmering) oven of my Aga and it will sit there until I’m ready to put the soup in the blender. You can get the same effect from a conventional oven on a very low light (ideal if you’re out at work all day) or in a slow cooker. You only need to cook the vegetables until they’re soft so even if you’re in a bit of a hurry, it will only take about 20 minutes to make your soup if you don’t have time to leave the pan. Notes: Tomato Basil Soup Recipe ( Easy and the Best), Heat the remaining 2 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or dutch oven. Add chopped onion and cook until soft (for about 3-4 … Cut the pumpkin and onions into chunks and halve the head of garlic. Place on a baking try and roast in the middle of the oven at 200c for 30 minutes.

Add a few drops of creme fraiche, Greek yogurt, sour cream, or creme fraiche that has been thinned with a little milk. Hayley’s heartwarming soup recipe will serve up to four people and takes around an hour to make. Hayley discovered this yummy recipe when she bought a Halloween pumpkin and wasn’t sure what to do with it. For an extra treat she advises topping with crumbled stilton and crispy bacon before serving. Ingredients Next up were the cold soups. I’m a ‘COLD SOUPS ARE WRONG’ kind of girl but I’m always up for a challenge, especially a soupy one and so I gave them a go. I should point out that the following two soups don’t have to be eaten cold, they can also be heated up.Fancy having a go yourself? Like the leek and potato soup I showed you a couple of weeks ago, there’s not a lot to it.

Add enough of creamy brie cheese to your soup for a rich and delicious flavour. If you do not like the slightly bitter taste or the brie’s rind, remove it before adding to the soup. Cut your tomatoes into small pieces and set them aside. Oil should be heated in a medium pot on medium to high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and the garlic smells good. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and keep cooking, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until the tomatoes have mostly broken down.

I went along with my friend Helen (who blogged about the day here) and when we got there I was asked which soups I’d like to try. I said ‘any as long as they’re vegetarian’ and was told that they all were. Whoop. Use a heavy pestle and mortar to crush the coriander seeds. You can also use ground coriander, but the whole seeds tend to have more flavor. Put into the pot. In general, the bigger the courgette (zucchine) the more bitterness it holds. So you better choose smaller ones.Rinse the courgettes, remove the top and bottom, then chop roughly into rings. (If you’re not going to blend your soup then you might want to take a little more care over this bit, but as I blitz it all then I don’t worry too much about the size.) Add to the pan. I’m using my usual Portmeirion casserole but you can use any large pan. Tonight, it’s courgette and Brie, a recipe which I originally found in my Covent Garden soup book but as usual am too lazy busy to follow exactly so have adapted to my throw-it-all-in-the-pot style. Improv cooking at it’s best!
