Traditional Minestrone Soup Recipe

February 16, 2021

In the days of my childhood growing up on a farm in Zimbabwe we always had a large pot of soup on the stove through winter. It was kept topped up with leftover vegetables and its flavour grew through the week. I’ve loved a hearty vegetable soup since then (a combination of comforting memories and…

Kimchi soup recipe

January 29, 2021

Today I’m taking inspiration from that staple of Korean households with my kimchi soup recipe. This fermented delicacy is made from vegetables, garlic, ginger and fish sauce which gives it a wide flavour profile encompassing sweet, sour and spicy. Kimchi also has great health benefits. “Kimchi is a fermented food that provides the body with…

Healthy Chicken Pho Recipe

January 13, 2021

Today I’m sharing my healthy chicken pho soup recipe. I’m always inspired by trying new food when I travel. It’s my favourite way to discover more about where I’m visiting and a great way to get involved in conversations with locals. And then of course I have to try and recreate the dishes I’ve loved…

Game Soup Recipe

Game Soup Recipe – a real winter warmer

December 28, 2020

What do you eat for Christmas lunch?  When I’m cooking for two, I generally make a game dish – Partridge, Venison or Pheasant are favourites of mine.  This year I was lucky enough to win a game hamper from the Scottish game company Woodmill. We enjoyed a stunning chestnut stuffed roast pheasant for Christmas and…

Salad Soup – Frugal Fix for leftover salad leaves

November 21, 2020

In summer I manage to grow most of my own salad leaves.  I pick what I need and never have leftovers (or if I do, the snails are just very grateful).  But, with no greenhouse, once autumn kicks in, I’m forced into buying salads from the supermarket – bags of rocket and mixed salad, little…

White Bean and Cauliflower Soup with Chorizo

May 13, 2020

Easy Soup for Chilly Spring Days – White Bean and Cauliflower. Throughout the winter I generally have a bowl of soup in the fridge.  It’s usually made with a concoction of leftover cheese, vegetables and some good stock – this broccoli, stilton and celery soup is a good example.  If all else fails I resort…

What do you make when you have nothing much left in the cupboard?  A few leeks and potatoes are all you really need to make a delicious, easy leek and potato soup.  Adding a stock cube or homemade stock will, of course, elevate your dish and, if you choose you can add leftover celery or…

Parsnip apple and horseradish soup

Parsnip and Apple Soup with Horseradish

December 3, 2019

Parsnips pair very well with apples.  That earthy sweetness you get from the root vegetable is lifted nicely by the piquancy of apples – especially if you use cooking apples or a sharper green variety like Granny Smiths.  I’m trying to keep the salt content of my soups as low as possible so using horseradish…

Broccoli Soup with Stilton and Celery

Broccoli, Stilton and Celery Soup

November 28, 2019

At this time of year, I seem to end up making a lot of soup. Perhaps my favourite lunch in Winter, a large bowl of wholesome soup with a hunk of crusty bread and butter is the ultimate cold-weather comfort food.  This Broccoli, Stilton and Celery soup is an old favourite that I vary depending…
