So, I have access to a beautiful garden right now that is full of peas. Full disclosure, peas are really not my favourite veg. I will pick them out of pretty much every meal, I dislike them so much. However, since I had all these fresh peas in the garden, I figured I would give…

butternut squash, lentil, ginger soup with rice
I had a butternut squash in my veg box so I decided to use half for a spicy peanut stew and half for this gentle comforting soup, since my veg box also came with fresh ginger and onions. This soup is really easy, but like most soups, it is much better the next day, so…
tomato veg rice soup
This week Facebook and Instagram were full of delicious things by my friends and family, so I didn’t have to go far to find inspiration for things to do with my veg box. I landed on soup. I wanted something thick and creamy, and one of my friends had done a kinda soup thing with…
ancho chipotle butternut squash soup
This soup isn’t a looker, I know. But the verdict was, from the thanksgiving social distancing hikers, it was tasty. This week I got a giant butternut squash in my veg box, so I will be on a series of butternut squash adventures. I figured like everyone with butternut squash, I’d make soup. This was…
parsnip potato soup
This week I had some really lovely parsnips in my veg box so I decided to make some soup. This nice creamy soup is an easy one that comes together with 2 big parsnips chopped, a big potato chopped, half an chopped onion and some olive oil, salt and pepper in a big pan in…
scottish cream of mushroom soup
If you have mushrooms and onions in your veg box this week and feel like you might want a bit of booze in your soup, this might be the soup for you! You need an onion, garlic of some form (I used garlic powder), salt, pepper, a bunch of mushrooms, about 500ml of stock, booze,…
veg box pasta soup
This tried to be minestrone, but you work with what you’ve got and I didn’t exactly have all the minestrone stuff. I have to say, I’m lucky because my veg box provides a lot of great things for yummy soup! If you’re interested in a pasta veggie soup, this soup has 5 basic parts: 1….
purple soup
Well, I still have my giant purple cabbage. Like an old friend, it waited patiently for me to return and I did. I decided to take my friend Sarah’s advice to make it into Anna Jones’s Purple Pickled Cabbage Soup, figuring that would use up the rest of this lovely cabbage. Nope. Still have some…
spring soup
I had some last legs veg that I wanted to use, so I decided that I’d try a different soup, because there are only so many puréed soups a girl can do. This is sorta spring vegetable barley soup, I guess. My lovely lettuce was not fit for sandwiches because it is a bit wilted,…
green soup
Today I thought I’d make something with all the green veg in my veg box that would go with toast or a sandwich (but it ended up being toast because I was too lazy to sort out a sandwich). I had a huge head of lovely leaf lettuce, a smallish courgette/zucchini, a green pepper (that…
