Coconut and Curry Fish Soup
All of my favourite things come together in this recipe: fish, shellfish, coriander and coconut. Redolent of saffron and spicy tones, this soup makes a great luncheon dish on a cold day.
Cream of Potato and Watercress Soup
A delicious soup made as a puree, sophisticated and suitable for a first course at a dinner party. The flavour is dependent on the stock, so ensure your stock is rich and tasty.

Hearty Minestrone Soup
This filling soup is made with lots of fresh vegetables and filling potatoes, pasta and beans, and finished with olive oil, Parmesan cheese and basil, or even a dollop of pesto. In Genoa, where the inspiration for the soup has come from, no meat or chicken stock would be used, so this is a very pure vegetarian soup, cooked slowly until thick and nourishing. Serve with crusty wholemeal bread, good olive oil and a bottle of hearty red wine for satisfying meal.
Leek and potato soup
This delicious soup is just perfect for those colder nights - quick and easy to make with a flavour that is just perfect.
