Soups

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

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

Proper pho is made with a time-intensive rich stock, but you can cheat the depth of flavour with dried mushrooms. The other beauty of this dish is that it tastes great with any leftover roast meat

Put your leftover roast turkey to good use in this festive twist on the classic Italian soup. It’s packed with macaroni, smoked bacon, carrots and parsnips for winter-warming bowl food.

A hearty bowl of comforting flavours, perfect for a chilly evening. Shittake mushrooms are a useful source of vitamin B6 and fibre

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