I’m addicted to soup in winter. My favourite soup at the moment is my Bacon and Red Lentil Soup. I’m not sure I can survive the whole of winter eating just it so Ive been experimenting. So many new soup recipes to come.
My other soup recipes:
- Bacon and Red Lentil Soup
- Broccoli and Cannellini Bean Soup
- Chicken Wonton Noodle Soup
- Creamy Garlic Chicken Soup
- Potato and Bacon Soup
What I love about soup is you can often just chuck anything in with a bit of good quality stock and more often than not you get a delicious soup. Soups are great for the budget and combined with some homemade bread can be quite filling (although my partner insists that soup IS NOT a meal!).
Some of my breads that go great with soup:
- Bread Rolls
- Fancy Bread Rolls
- Cheese and Bacon Bread Balls
- Cheese and Bacon Bread Rolls
- Cheesy Herb Pull Apart
- Cheesy Garlic Squares
- Garlic Cheese Bread Balls
- Herb Elephant Ears
- Herbed Cob Loaf
- Parmesan Garlic Bread Wheel
- Spinach and Cheese Wreath
- Sun Dried Tomato Pull Apart
The kiddies aren’t huge soup fans so I generally make a big batch of this and just freeze portions for myself.
