Beetroot Soup

This soup has a wonderful colour and flavour and is very easy to make. Freeze any soup left over.

Serves 4-6

Braised Silverbeet

When silverbeet is plentiful, this is a warming soup, that is both nutritious and delicious!  While it's low calorie, it's high on flavour, texture and satiety.

The recipe below feeds 2-3 people as a base for a main course, with fish and crusty bread.

Chicken Noodle Soup with Shiitake and Fennel

Nothing could be comforting than a delicate, well-flavoured chicken soup. It’s the most pure of all comfort foods. In this recipe I have a great combination of noodles, chicken and broth that’s based on the classic chicken soup, and added shallot, ginger and lime leaf for lots of flavour. A browned stock would be excellent in this soup if you want a shiny golden colour.

Chicken Soup with Coconut Cream and Lemongrass

This is an intensely flavoured soup that doesn't require hours of cooking for the flavours to develop.  The fragrant broth is best eaten immediately and that suits me just fine.
