  This soup. Just, well it’s everything. If you’ve never used tortillas to thicken your soup you’ve got to do it. It’s genius as it makes it creamier without having to use cream! If a soup can be summery and still hot then this is it. It’s perfect for cities like Melbourne when you’re blessed with summer produce but there’s just as much chance of a cold 6 degree day in December as there is a 34 degree one. The toppings are out of control and the main reason for that summer vibe.
POACHED CHICKEN IN A SPICY COCONUT BROTH WITH SWEET POTATO NOODLES
  This is so simple to make and so full of flavour. It feels like you’re eating something healing too because of the slurpy broth and big vegetable content. The gently poached chicken adds extra flavour to the broth, however you can leave it out, swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock and you’ve got a great vegetarian meal.
QUICK VEGETARIAN MISO RAMEN
Like usual, I by no means claim authenticity but I do claim flavour. This is a clean and light ramen, perfect for a work lunch. You can adjust the seasonings and vegetables to suit your tastes and use traditional ramen noodles instead of rice noodles if you prefer!
ROASTED JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE SOUP
It’s definitely still soup weather and this creamy nutty number is so comforting. Jerusalem artichokes are something that I definitely underuse in my kitchen, especially as they are so rich in flavour. Roasting them before adding to the soup creates so much more flavour.
SPICY SWEET CORN NOODLE SOUP
This soup is creamy and delicious with a little spiciness to balance that sweet juicy corn. The rice noodles hiding in there make this the perfect lunch.
MEXICAN TOMATO SOUP WITH AVOCADO SALSA AND CRISPY TORTILLA STRIPS
  I feel like this soup’s a bit naughty. Not in a bad for you way but because it’s using a summery ingredient in a winter recipe. But you know what? Sometimes a girl just wants what a girl wants and sometimes she finds a whole lot of roma tomatoes that might come from another state but at least they’re from this country so leave me alone. This soup is worth my ethical guilt.
SPICED CARROT AND LENTIL SOUP
 Soup! Because it’s been more than a week since my last soup post and therefore you might be ready for a new one to add to the rotation. This one is fragrant with spice and very filling thanks to the addition of lentils. It’s also stupid easy to make.
RED CURRY PUMPKIN SOUP
This red curry pumpkin soup is all kinds of yum and combines two of my favourite things to eat in winter: curry and soup! What could be better? Oh I know, getting a little naughty and topping it with crispy shallots and coconut cream.
BROCCOLI SOUP WITH GOATS CHEESE AND BASIL
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately so eating a bucket load of green vegetables and slurping soup just felt like the right thing to do. This is a super tasty broccoli soup full of herbs and finished with goats cheese for some extra yum. It’s also really easy to make which is just what you want on a glum winter night.
CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH PARMESAN AND QUINOA CRISPS
It’s that time of the year again. The time for soups. And the time for cauliflower. Two things I am happy to post about regularly sorry if it gets boring. Actually I’m not sorry at all, cauliflower is delicious. As is soup.
