Warming SoupsTasty homemade soups that are quick and easy to make. What could be better for your vegetarian lunchbox on a cold winter's day?Soup is also a healthy option and will provide you with 1 to 2 portions of your 5 a day. Here are some of my favourite easy to make recipes. The best thing about these recipes is that you can make up a large batch and freeze into single portions. Tip: Make sure you keep your soup at a safe temperature by using a good flask. Fill the flask with hot water first and leave for a few minutes. This will warm the flask and improve heat retention. Tomato and Basil(Great for anyone on a low fat diet)
Options: I often add a handful of red lentils or short grain rice to the ingredients. This thickens the soup and makes it more substantial. Another option is to add a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end of the cooking time. Tip: This makes a great lunch with some cheese scones. Potato and Leek
Enough for 6 portions -freezes well
Put the potatoes, leeks and vegetable stock in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for around 20 min (or until potatoes are cooked). Season to taste and add fresh herbs. Blitz in a food processor. Serve hot. Option: To make this creamier, cook using only 1.2 litres of stock. Once cooked, add 300ml of milk (or half milk and half cream for a treat!)
