Soups

27.10.2005 Roasted Sweet Potato Soup

Roasting the sweet potato gives this soup a delicate taste that guests will remember. Serves 6.[more]

27.10.2005 Tomato & Basil Soup

Homemade tomato soup is so much richer in flavour and goodness than any tomato soup from a can. Make it just once to find out how real tomato soup tastes. Use fresh herbs, dried ones just don't taste the same. Serves 6.[more]

27.10.2005 Cauliflower & Cheese Soup

I first ate this soup at my friend Cheryl's house many years ago and it has been a favourite since then. You can also add pumpkin to the soup pot for a different flavour. For a low fat version, omit the cheese.[more]

27.10.2005 Pear & Parsnip Soup

This recipe has been adapted from a recipe by Sheridan Rogers, one of my favourite food writers. It sounds like an unusual combination, and it has to be tasted to believe how beautifully the flavours blend together. Serves 4-6.[more]

26.10.2005 Roasted Vegetable Soup

Slow cooking brings out the flavour of the vegetables wonderfully. Don't be alarmed by the amount of garlic; the slow roasting imparts a delicate sweetness. Serve with warm, crusty bread for a winter's lunch. Serves 6.[more]
