Great recipes!
I love sweetcorn and chilli soup, which is just stock, garlic, frozen sweetcorn, seasoning and dried chilli flakes to taste (add half a teaspoon and go from there!). Blitz with a hand blender. The sweetcorn makes it really sweet and creamy with a chilli kick which is great in the cold weather! You can make it really thick by adding more sweetcorn.
I also love pea and mint soup, stock, garlic, frozen peas, a pinch of dried mint and seasoning to taste. Blitz with a hand blender.
And chinese-style soup, using a small stir fry mix (beansprouts, carrots, mushrooms, waterchestnuts etc) add some stock, chopped chilli, garlic, ginger, and some chinese 5 spice. I also add fine rice noodles to make it really filling.
I love soup! I make big batches of everything and freeze them (apart from the last one as that can't be frozen), and start with about a pint and a half of stock.
