Winter

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

Full of beta carotene, vitamin C and other antioxidants, sweet potatoes are one of the veg world’s most unsung heroes

The key to this non-alcoholic Old Fashioned is the use of lapsang souchong tea, which adds rich, smoky notes, essential for adding depth to this classic

Not only is pearl barley a great budget buy, but it’s also highly nutritious and adds a lovely texture to this warming winter soup. Parsnip, swede or celeriac would also work well if you want to vary the veg

Gather around the bonfire with this delicious mulled cider, given an extra kick with a generous splash of rum.

Packing 4 servings of veg and pulses into a single bowl, this is truly a super-soup! High in fibre, it’s wonderfully filling, and great for a healthy digestive system

This simple yet satisfying soup is delicious served with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and fresh, crusty bread
