Celebrate the arrival of autumn greens and hardy root vegetables; all perfect ingredients for creating a comforting bowl of soup.
Try making velvety smooth soups blended to your desired thickness, or keep vegetables chunky inside a good broth. When it comes to broth, homemade is always best but nobody will judge if you go for stock cubes or store bought stock. Just try to get the best quality you can find. After all, not all of us always happen to have a batch of homemade stock on hand.
If you are keen, however, here's a step-by-step guide to how to make bone broth at home.
Experiment with toppings by adding crunch with croutons made from stale bread, or fried veggie peels. Conversely, a dollop of full-fat yoghurt or soft cheese can up the creamy factor. Serve warm with some toasted sourdough and good quality butter.
Soups can easily be frozen, to be defrosted in the microwave or stovetop when you are in a hurry. So make an extra portion or two, divide into portions and freeze in freezeproof containers.
