Curried lentil soup

Curried lentil – or mulligatawny – soup is my favourite soup ever. I make a huge vat of soup every Sunday night to eat throughout the week and this one is just the best.

Roasted Garlic and Tomato Soup

Soup season is upon us! I wanted to make a brand new soup for my first soup of the season, and I’ve hit the jackpot. This may well be the BEST soup I’ve ever made.

Kumara Soup

This is a brilliant recipe from New Zealand! Kumara is a Maori word for sweet potato, which is what makes up the bulk of this soup. It liquidises beautifully to produce a very smooth, warming soup. This will make enough for 3-4 medium bowls or up to 6 little dinky bowls. You will need: 60g butter 3 cloves garlic finely...
