Winter’s Here. Is It Time For Soup?
Is it just me, or does it feel like winter has finally arrived today?
This morning was grey, foggy and, quite frankly, freezing.
What happened to the wonderful Indian Summer we’ve been having?
I’m not being a pessimist - it could be December and I’ll still be hoping for sunshine - but it’s definitely time to get the soup pan out.
There’s something so wonderfully warming about home-made soup. And I love making it, because it’s so easy. Soup might take half an hour, but you only need to be involved for the first 5 minutes.
Usually it’s a case of scrub and chop the veggies, maybe a little fyring, then shove it all in a pan with the stock and leave it until it’s cooked. You just need to pop in every now and then to give it a stir.
Soups really are a great way of cooking vegetables. All the water soluble vitamins that leach out during cooking stay in the stock, so you still get the full nutritional value of the veggies.
They are also a great way of using up leftover vegetables at the end of your veg box week. Almost everything works in a soup. Time to get experimenting!
We’ve pulled together our favourite soup recipes from Veg Box Recipes, to help you get started.
So if you’re feeling in need of a little winter warming, why not try these delicious soup recipes today?
Enjoy!
