My favourite soup in the whole wide world is Mum’s pea and lettuce soup (or green soup as Charlotte calls it). This broccoli soup is nearly as good. So easy to make, simply whack it all in a pot and let it cook until the veggies are nice and soft before giving it a whizz […]
Pronounced “ferr” not “fo”, I think you can tell a lot about a person by the way they order a bowl of this delicious Vietnamese beef noodle soup. In Sydney for work a couple of years ago I was busting to get to Miss Chu’s – the ‘Queen of rice paper rolls’ for a bowl of […]
I’m really excited about this one. As in – I could hardly get a snap of the soup because I was already busily hoeing in to it. Gosh it’s good. I need to thank Nadia Lim for the recipe inspo. I googled ‘pumpkin and haloumi’ as these were the ingredients I had laying round in the fridge […]
A freezing cold day in Boorowa today, it’s currently 5℃ outside. I’ve given up trying to wrestle a jumper on to my two year old daughter Annabelle who says “I’m not cold!” As long as a top has ‘sleeves’ and a sparkly front, she is fine. My other daughter Charlotte is a more sensible four year […]
Weeks ago I made dhal for a meat free Monday night dinner and whilst doing a million other things, simply forgot about it, leaving it on the stove to burn. To a crisp. Talk about ruining a dish. We ate spag bol instead. And I’ve been wanting to make it again ever since. I was […]
Chatting to my good friend Lizard recently, she told me she’d made a chicken Laksa for dinner. This gave me the inspiration to reach for that jar of Laksa paste whilst browsing the gourmet food aisle at Knights Meats last week. This prawn Laksa is the quickest and easiest soup you can make and although I […]
One for the mushroom lovers out there, I’m giving you some grey soup on this very cold and overcast wintery day. If you don’t like mushies – sorry, you won’t like this soup. It is quite ‘mushroomy’ indeed and would make for a nice little starter at a dinner party or for a cas’ meat […]
Mum makes pumpkin soup all the time. She always says that the success of the soup lies in the quality of the pumpkin. I won’t be let down here as I have an absolute cracker of a pumpkin. So fresh and grown by my good friend Georgie, it makes this dish taste that little bit […]
I make this soup often. I make it when it’s freezing cold or when we’ve got friends or family staying for the weekend. It’s delicious, easy to make, freezes well and is really filling. It’s also Cork Daddy’s favourite. A good reason if ever there was one. If you make this minestrone, please leave your […]
9℃ in Wagga. You couldn’t get better soup weather if you tried. I’m sharing this recipe for the nicest soup I know how to make. Based on a recipe that my mother in law uses, it’s a delicious potato soup cooked with bacon, loads of onion and is so luscious and comforting. Make a batch […]
The long weekend is drawing to an end, an overindulgent weekend filled with chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate, not to mention the booze! Daylight savings have just finished for another year, it’s 6pm and we’re all exhausted. A bowl of steaming humble soup is just what we need to settle back in to home after […]
soupe de pois et de laitue | translation : pea + lettuce soup For as long as I can remember, mum has cooked this. And for as long as my mum can remember, her mum has cooked this. As a kid, I didn’t like the idea of green soup, nor the look of it. But […]
lo's kitchen
