Hearty Soups

Soups can fit the bill in so many ways, and there is nothing more comforting on a winter's day than the aroma of homemade soup to welcome you home.

They are easy to make, nutritious and in this case can be so packed with lovely ingredients are a meal in themselves, serve for lunch with crusty bread or fill yourself up at supper time without feeling too guilty. You could even try making your own stock, you'll be surprised how much of a difference it makes.  Leek and Potato, Roasted Tomato, Celery with Blue Cheese and Vegetable Mulligatawny, La Potee and Minestrone all use seasonal vegetables, pulses and beans making them inexpensive meals that are also good for you.
