I like fish soups and Waitrose sell a Seafood Gumbo, nice and spicy with chilli. Really excellent.

Roasted butternut squash with chilli.

Peel one large butternut squash, chop into cubes about an inch across and place on a baking tray dousing liberally with olive oil, salt and pepper and some mixed herbs. Roast for half an hour at 180 degrees.


In a large pan gently fry off two or three cloves of crushed garlic and a finely diced onion. Cook until onion is translucent.

Remove the squash from the oven and add to the pan, allowing the flavours to mingle.

Begin adding approx 2 pints of vegetable stock stirring constantly and bring back to the boil.

Add about a teaspoon of chilli flakes and simmer for 40 minutes on a low heat.

Using a hand blender blend until you have reached your desired consistency, add approx 150 ml of double cream stirring through.

Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with warmed sour dough bread and lashings of Lurpack.

I work with someone who confessed one day that at the age of 31, they had never tried soup! I was literally flabbergasted when they told me this. Despite going and buying him some soup right there and then, I still can’t believe he made it that far in life without trying soup.

Spicy lentil soup. Gently fry a chopped onion, leek, garlic and peeled and sliced aubergine with some herbal salt, white pepper and thyme. Add tinned tomatoes, water, vegetable stock, big chunks of carrot and potatoes, a few bay leaves and red lentils. Leave it to simmer for a while until carrots, potatoes and lentils are soft. Taste and add as much salt and pepper as needed. Delicious!

Minestrone smothered in parmesan

Good call, but nothing beats home-grown and home-made leek and potato.

Oh God. I have to agree with you. I feel dirty now...

Oh God. I have to agree with you. I feel dirty now...

… Surely you of all NSCers can get round the dirt by referring to it as vichysoisse.

Enjoyed a rather nice concoction in Pret A Manger today involving chicken, vegetables and ginger. Forget what it was called exactly. Tasty and warming.

Can't be beaten! Served with nice crusty bread...

In a Which? test it was beaten by Aldi's Cream of Tomato soup. Have to say I can understand why. Half the price too.

Every other week we make one from all the old veg in the bottom of the fridge ( the stuff you'd throw away or compost but obviously no mould involved ). Chop it all equally to the chunkiness you like. Toss in a big pot with a glug or two of olive oil and a teaspoon or two of some spices like cumin or coriander and just gently fry off. Then add enough stock ( flavour is your choice ) to cover the veg. Heat up to a simmer. Keep it on a simmer for 90 minutes whilst topping up with boiling water as needed. Allow to cool. We then semi-blitz it with a hand blender. Add loads of black pepper and away you go. Cheap as chips and without all the shite Heinz adds.

If you like it curry-ish.
