Warm up your winter with Barley soup
This soup was a staple in winter when I was little. My mum used to prepare it quite regularly, and its flavour really warms my heart up. And it is soup-er simply to prepare. There is some prep of course, but once everything is in the pot, it’s just a matter of waiting until your dinner is ready. This soup is definitely something you’ll love … Continue reading Warm up your winter with Barley soup
Courgette & cavolo nero soup
My mouth is still watering at the thought of it. Ready in 15 minutes, this delicacy will surprise your tastebuds with a very interesting flavour. You’d probably wonder why I’m still making soups even if spring is upon us. Well, unfortunately the season of blossoms is not upon the Britain… it’s still quite cold even if cherry trees are in bloom and the daffodils are … Continue reading Courgette & cavolo nero soup
Lentil & tomato soup
This is an adaptation of the Smoky Tomato Soup recipe from the book 5 Ingredients 10 Minutes by Jules Clancy. I have to say it’s one of the best books I’ve ever had. Simple but really tasty dishes made with just a few ingredients and in a short time. What’s best for a weeknight dinner? Or even to impress guests when the fridge is not particularly … Continue reading Lentil & tomato soup
Broccoli, cauliflower & blue cheese soup
This is my adaptation of the following recipe from Nigella Lawson’s website: Source: Broccoli and Stilton Cheese Soup | Community Recipes | Nigella’s Recipes | Nigella Lawson It doesn’t contain just broccoli but also cauliflower, and instead of stilton I used ordinary blue cheese. The result though, was quite impressive. With a pack of broccoli and cauliflower florets about to expire in the fridge, the … Continue reading Broccoli, cauliflower & blue cheese soup
Spiced roasted veggie soup
Spices. Big love and big question mark. Apart from the basic ones that are constant in my recipes – namely parsley, rosemary and chilli – there is not much space for other ones. My fault. There is definitely going to be some learning in the future. Anyway, with the rough weather of these days (storm Imogen, do you read me?), the need for a warming … Continue reading Spiced roasted veggie soup
Easy peasy! Marrowfat peas & turkey ham soup
It is literally easy peasy! Haha! With just three ingredients (plus seasoning obviously), and just five minutes to be ready, who won’t love this dish? I guess I was a little too brave last week, having gazpacho with this – still – cold weather. But anyway, it was delicious and definitely worth the challenge. This week though, I move back to something warm and comforting, … Continue reading Easy peasy! Marrowfat peas & turkey ham soup
Summery Sunday treat. Gazpacho!
I fell in love with this traditional Spanish cold soup last year when I was on holiday in Torrevieja with Tom. Obviously, going back to the cold weather of London (although it was the beginning of September), I kept the craving hidden in my mind waiting for the temperatures to raise and the sun to set way later in the day. Aided by the fact … Continue reading Summery Sunday treat. Gazpacho!
Quinoa & lentil soup
It’s officially time for a diet. Don’t worry, there are going to be still delicious recipes on my blog, but I’ll try to eat as clean as I can. At work, as usual, I got this pack of quinoa, and having tried it before, I started to think how it could be used even in hearty wintery dishes. So here we are, with a nice … Continue reading Quinoa & lentil soup
Potato & leek cream soup
It’s getting really cold and wet here in London. What kind of comforting food would best suit these nights then? How about a soup? With two of my favourite ingredients, potatoes and leeks? Smooth yet tangy, this is one of my definite yes for a warming supper. And it’s really easy and quick to prepare too! Awesome when you come back from work and don’t … Continue reading Potato & leek cream soup
