I must admit I haven’t tried this recipe out, but I like that it seems pretty easy to make. I’m sure that it’s very tasty and filling. It’s best made close to serving though.

HEARTY VEGETABLE AND BROWN RICE SOUP
It’s been a cold wintery week here in Melbourne this week, so definitely the right time to make a bowl of hearty soup. This vegetable and rice one should warm everyone up.
POTATO, CABBAGE AND CHORIZO SOUP
It’s still winter here in Melbourne, so it’s not too late to make this very hearty soup.
BROCCOLI & BLUE CHEESE SOUP
This won’t be everyone’s favourite soup, but for those who like broccoli and blue cheese it’s a winner. It’s easy to make, looks and tastes good and is a great dinner party starter. Best to check if they like broccoli and blue cheese before you serve it up though!!!
FRAGRANT CARROT SOUP
Making a pot of soup used to be a fairly cheap thing to do, but with the cost of vegetables going crazy at the moment, finding a recipe that is economical to make, but still tasty is a bit harder. Carrots, onions and potatoes aren’t too expensive so maybe this carrot soup could be one to try.
ASPARAGUS AND PEA SOUP
I don’t think this soup is a very appealing colour, but the flavour should be quite nice. I haven’t made it, but I think I’ll add some bacon when I do. Maybe some bacon pieces on top to decorate it would make it look a bit nicer too.
SALMON ASPARAGUS SOUP
This is an old 1970s recipe that I used to make for dinner parties in my early years of married life. Inviting friends over for dinner was the way we mainly entertained. Eating out was expensive and none of us could afford that very often. There were a few cooking disasters as we learnt to cook, but they were disguised by the wine and good company. This was an easy and pretty foolproof starter.
SINGAPORE LAKSA
It’s sunny, but cold outside today so my mind automatically turns to making a pot of hot soup for dinner tonight. Instead of a thick vegetable one maybe I’ll make a seafood laksa instead. This is a meal in itself full of prawns, white fish, calamari, bean curd and noodles……luscious and bound to warm us all up.
NANA’S EASY EVERYDAY SOUP
I confess that I’m a soupaholic, the weather only has to be slightly cool and I’m make myself some soup. For visitors I follow a recipe and make ‘proper’ soups, but for myself I make something closer to this old recipe. The big difference between my soup and this is that I just throw everything in (no sautéing) and add a tin of commercial soup – whatever I have in the cupboard. Oh, and I don’t mash or blend it. My end product is a chunky vegetable soup, very filling and great on a cold winter night. Try it and see if you agree!!!!
CHICKEN TERRINE
When I first started making this terrine you couldn’t buy minced chicken, so there was no alternative but to drag out the mincer and process the chicken and veal yourself. Since those days a blender or pre-minced chicken make it a bit easier. I think if you’ve got the time mincing up the chicken breasts and veal yourself is the best option, as you get a better quality mince, but if you don’t have the time give pre-minced a go. The finished terrine tastes really good and is worth the effort either way.
