Homemade soup

Homemade soup is an absolute favourite in our house. In fact, my kids will often take it to school in a thermos flask. The love of soup in my family I attribute to my granny, she was a brilliant soup maker. My granny came from a generation of ‘make do and mend’ - a sentiment which I use to guide my own thinking. Soup can be so many things! There are some amazing recipes for soup out there. But for me, it is a nutrious, delicious and cost effective meal. It ensures that no vegetables go to waste. As a result, my soups are seasonal and to be honest consumed most in autumn and winter. Nothing beats a warm bowl of soup on a wintery afternoon. Make a big pot, freeze what you don’t use and bring out for those days when you most need the goodness of a bowl of homemade soup. Enjoy!
