Soup is a good way to use up random bits and bobs that you don’t know what to do with. This soup is a result of all my orange bits and bobs from my veg box: some carrots, half a sweet potato, one lonely potato (who isn’t orange, I know), and a small pile of…

cream of broccoli soup
I’m on a bit of a soup kick at the moment. What I wanted was fast cream of broccoli soup. I figured maybe it would cook up faster if I blitzed my broccoli, onion, garlic, and parsley in a food processor first. And I think it did. If you don’t get lovely veg box broccoli,…
mushroom soup
My veg box had some gorgeous mushrooms, potatoes, and onions which made me think mushroom soup might be nice! You’ll need a lot of sliced mushrooms (maybe 200g), an diced onion, a chopped potato, some olive oil, a couple of stock cubes, the dairy you like (I used oat milk, some nutritional yeast, lemon juice,…
bad photo soup
Easy soup, bad photography. I’m not sure why my green/olive soup ended up looking so orange in this photo, but oh well.Here is the thing. You can make a complicated, delicious, non-dairy cream soup that is fantastic with a million ingredients. And they are super great. You can also make a reasonably good and simple…
creamy tomato soup
I had half a small fennel bulb left and some last legs carrots and celery, so I chopped them up sautéed them in a pan with a bit of onion olive oil. After about 7 mins or so, I added a can of tomatoes and a can of water and let it simmer for a…
sprout top soup
My veg box had more sprouts, but this time the whole plant, so I set myself the task of figuring out what to do with leaves AND sprouts. This soup is the first experiment with cooking with the leaves: sprout leaves, the half dozen mushrooms from my box, tomato, rice soup. I sautéed an onion,…
potato leek comfort
This got me through a trying week and my veg box was thankfully full of familiar favourites. Boil equal amounts of chopped leeks and potato in a pot with water and a stock cube (I used oxo veg stock). Let boil until everything is soft, about 10-15 mins. Put 1/2 or so into a bowl…
a very red soup
This is a chunky version of my go to roasted tomato and peppers soup. My tomatoes, onions, and peppers from last week’s veg box were on their last legs, so they made their way into soup. It ended up being a much darker colour than I expected, but nice roasted flavours on a rainy day….
roasted veg soup
My lovely veg box people gave me a tiny butternut squash which was perfect for soup for one. I love the veg box people. They also gave me a couple of parsnips and leeks, so I used one of each for some added fall flavour. Roasted all veg with some fall spices (ginger, cumin, cinnamon,…
simple celeriac soup
I got a small celeriac root in my veg box and decided to use half of it to make myself some pantry soup. This soup is cheap and cheerful on a cold day. And really simple. Cube equal parts of root veg and add equal parts leek to a pot with some water so the…
