Soups

There are few meals as comforting as a warm bowl of soup when the weather turns cool. These soup recipes are built around familiar ingredients and satisfying flavours, with options ranging from creamy bowls to lighter, broth-based dishes. Soup is also practical: it can make a straightforward lunch, a simple evening meal or something worth keeping for the next day. Serve it on its own or add bread and a simple side when you want a more filling supper.

Making a good bowl of soup

The best flavour often starts before the liquid goes in. Giving onions, vegetables or other base ingredients a little time to soften can build more depth without making the recipe harder. Once the soup is simmering, taste near the end and adjust the seasoning gradually rather than adding too much at the beginning.

Creamy soups benefit from gentle heat once dairy has been added, while broth-based soups can often be prepared ahead and reheated when needed. If you are planning a larger evening meal, browse our Dinner Recipes for more comforting ideas.
