White onion soup with whipped Brie toasts

French onion soup’s more glamorous cousin, this potage somehow manages to be both delicate and rich – the perfect way to start a smart winter supper. You could make the toasts more crouton-like by brushing bread slices with oil and baking in the oven until crisp, but a quick blast in the toaster is a good, low-energy compromise

Roasted root vegetable and barley broth

Colder weather brings a bounty of seasonal root vegetables, and there is no better time of the year to make a warming vat of soup. This low-waste recipe manages to be both fancy and homely. Carrots and parsnips are a must, but you can swap the swede for celeriac, turnips or kohlrabi

Spring minestrone

This is a soup that relies on a good stock for the best flavour, so use a fresh, or even homemade, stock instead of from a cube. Mix and match spring veg as you wish
