Now, is the time to start using up all the veg that has been frozen. Yes - it is Soup Season. I turn practically anything into soup in a variety of different ways.
Roasted Tomato
Pumpkin with grilled cheese croutons
Sweetcorn and potato chowder
My personal favourite Leek and Potato
The list is endless
and this one Riboletta
where I can use up some of my Cavolo Nero
As you can guess, I am a bit of a soup fanatic - I can think of nothing better in winter than a warming bowl of soup and some lovely fresh bread for dipping.
If anyone can recommend a soup which is their favourite I will gladly give it a go
For research purposes you understand!

Could'nt agree more...we too are soupaholics...especially in Winter. I too favour Leek and Potato. I made a good one last weel with the last of the Tomatoes and Lentils.
ReplyDeleteYum! Recipes please?
ReplyDeleteI love soup too. Celeriac makes a great soup, but my favourite type of soup is lentil and caraway soup xxx
ReplyDeleteNever tried celeriac Fran - reckon I'll have to give it a go. Lentil and caraway sounds interesting too.

We're not big soup eaters so I don't make it very often. It's perfect for lunch in the kind of weather we've got today though.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, soup is so yummy and warming. I had a chunky veg yesterday (although I have to confess to buying it whilst out shopping to enable a quick lunch when I arrived home). I'll be digging up some leeks today to make leek and potato and I am looking for a good recipe for a beetroot soup if anyone has one :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm a great fan of soup too. I love eating it, and I love making it. For me the basis of a good soup is usually some home-made chicken stock. I agree with Fran that you ought to try Celeriac. It's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYep, another soup maker over here as well. Taught to cook by my mum and grandmothers, all my sisters make soup and meals from scratch. My christmas soup was a big hit (beetroot, parsnip, carrot, topped with a swirl of cream and chopped chives or parsley) - red, green, white hence the Christmas name! Currently enjoying Chilli Beef soup (mince, multifarious veg and chilli) amazingly filling and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love soups but all mine turn out the same - a sort of tasty gunge. Never as pretty as these!
ReplyDeletehello

What a delicious post! I eat nice thick homemade soups through the winter. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteanother soup lover here! My winter favourite is chestnut and chorzo soup which I think I could eat every day and never tire of. Can I ask how you freezer courgettes - do they become mushy?
ReplyDeleteooooh, yummy. I love soups too. Even though we are heading into summer here I have been thinking about soup already!! Do you guys plan for soups or just make them from leftovers / over supplies etc?? I was thinking I might start making soup throughout the summer from fresh produce to freeze for the winter months. What do ya think??
ReplyDeleteI love soup season too, and I'm thinking soup may be the best way to use up my frozen beans, since I hate the soggy taste they seem to have if I just steam them. Am looking forward to using some Jerusalem Artichokes in soup and am hoping you will post some yummy recipes to try too.
ReplyDeleteI love soups but sometimes I find they don't fill me up enough so I'm a huge fan of minestrone. I love it because it has beans and pasta in it and makes it feel at bit more substantial.
ReplyDeleteSo many delicious looking soups...yum :) Pumpkin is probably my favourite but Leek and Potato is right up there too!
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious, such beautiful colours. Great way to make use of veg in a quick, healthy way.
