Soups

Pozole is a Mexican soup traditionally made with pork, hominy (dried corn) and whole dried chillies. This plant-based version uses mushrooms and chickpeas

This vibrant noodle soup is perfect for solo slurping during colder months. Feel free to mix it up with the toppings – I like to use some of the roasted squash along with sweet peas and crispy tofu

Peas not only lend colour and sweetness to this soup – when roasted with spices, they add texture as a crunchy garnish too

Open a bottle of rioja and tuck into this refreshing Spanish classic

A vibrant soup with Eastern European origins, topped with filling dumplings. Beetroot is a great source of most of the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

A super-quick and easy soup using frozen veg as the base, with lots of fresh basil and a little Parmesan to give that pesto vibe

Earthy cauliflower pairs well with sweet pears, creating a silky-smooth soup with added crunch from the seeds and salty, cheesy toasts

You can’t get much easier than this soup. There’s not even any need to sauté the onion – you simply dump all the ingredients in the pot and simmer until the lentils have softened
