Soups
Sustaining, nutritious, quick, easy and cheap to make, it's no surprise that soups are so popular. You'll find every type of pottage on the site, from classic watercress and gazpacho to roasted tomato and chilled versions too.
Serves 4Tuscan White Bean Soup with Frizzled Shallots and Pancetta
We all know that pulses are a brilliant source of fibre and protein, so if you want to up your intake, this soup is just one way of doing so. The cannellini beans give the soup a creamy texture and the flavour is out of this world!
Serves 6Curried Parsnip and Apple Soup with Parsnip Crisps
The combination of parsnips, apple and spices is original and truly delectable: an unusual soup that's certain to become a regular in your repertoire.
Serves 6Shiitake Broth with Sesame Toast
Low-fat recipes often need quite assertive ingredients in order to give you plenty of taste and flavour: this lovely Japanese-inspired soup is a great example, with shiitake mushrooms adding punch and meaty depth.
Serves 6Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Melting Cheese
Roasted pumpkin takes on plenty of toasty flavours - add melting cheese and this soup is truly sensational!
Serves 4Wild Mushroom Soup with Madeira
The earthiness of mushrooms and porcini is complemented superbly by the toasty nuttiness of Madeira to give you a soup, made from a bought mushroom sauce, that can be served at even the most luxurious meal.
Serves 4Cream of Celery Soup
Celery is an underrated vegetable - make sure you eat it in the winter months when it has the best flavour and, preferably, after a frost. One of the very best soups you can make.
Serves 8Eliza Acton's Vegetable Mulligatawny
Mulligatawny was highly fashionable in Victorian times and, indeed, this recipe was influenced by Eliza Acton, one of that era's most prolific cookery writers. Spicy, warming and vegetarian, it's a real classic.
Serves 6Split Pea and Vegetable Soup
Although they are cheap, split peas are actually brilliant on the nutritious front and provide plenty of fibre in the diet. This soup is just one way of enjoying them...
Serves 8La Potee (French Farmhouse Soup with Bacon, Sausage and Beans)
A hearty soup drawn from the rustic traditions of French cooking: vary the vegetables according to season and whatever you have to hand. All you need to serve it is plenty of crusty bread.
Serves 8Soupe Flamande with Creme Fraiche and Frizzled Sprouts
The winter months aren't the most exciting on the vegetable front, but when you can make wonderful soups like this one - from potatoes, leeks and Brussels sprouts - who cares?
