Soups

Peas not only lend colour and sweetness to this soup – when roasted with spices, they add texture as a crunchy garnish too

A very fresh, very green soup that can be served cold as a vichyssoise, or hot if you prefer. Crunchy bacon crumbs complement the peppery watercress

A super-quick and easy soup using frozen veg as the base, with lots of fresh basil and a little Parmesan to give that pesto vibe

You can’t get much easier than this soup. There’s not even any need to sauté the onion – you simply dump all the ingredients in the pot and simmer until the lentils have softened

Packing 4 servings of veg and pulses into a single bowl, this is truly a super-soup! High in fibre, it’s wonderfully filling, and great for a healthy digestive system

This bowl recipe is creamy and comforting yet still light on calories, coming in at just under 500

This simple yet satisfying soup is delicious served with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and fresh, crusty bread

Olive oil and black pepper help the body absorb turmeric, which has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Peas are high in beneficial vitamin C and walnuts contain anti- inflammatory nutrients
