Salads are out and we want something warming to cheer our lunchtime now the weather is wintery. Homemade soup is cheap, delicious, nutritious and fresh. It’s easy to make, with hundreds of recipes on the internet in every flavour you could wish for. Soup is good to increase variety by ‘hiding’ veg you’re not so keen on. You’ll also be able to avoid unhealthy ingredients often used in manufactured soups like sunflower oil, sugar and MSG. Use your imagination and be a bit free and easy when creating your soup.


My standard recipe goes something like this:


All ingredients should be cut small before they go in the pan.


Cook an onion in butter until transparent.


Add a couple of crushed cloves of garlic, a carrot and couple of sticks of celery. Cook for a couple more minutes.


Add 1/3 tin of tomatoes, a handful each of cabbage stems and cauliflower leaves (washed, chopped and popped in the freezer as you use them), stock or bouillon to cover, a squirt of tomato puree, salt, pepper, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh). Adding saved ‘juices’ from beef stew gives a richer flavour.

You could cut up cooked meats to put in. Deli counters often sell cheap mixed offcuts.


Bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes, add some green beans and peas. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Tip in a small (300g) tin of mixed pulses. Use a stick blender to whizz it smooth. Freeze in portions for use on other days.


Following my principle of plants, protein and fats, to make this almost all-carb soup a more nutritionally rounded meal, skip the bread and serve with a dollop of cream on top and cheese on the side.


Top tip: Get soup making!
