My love of sweet corn soup started with takeaway from our local Chinese restaurant many years ago. In my early days of entertaining I even bought it to serve as a first course, cutting down on the work needed to prepare the meal. I haven’t done that for many, many years though, now a days I make it myself but I still love it.
All the soups I make need a bit of time to prepare, but this noodle soup is lovely and quick and is full of vegetables. The vegetarian version with tofu is another great way to serve it.
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.
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.
It’s still winter here in Melbourne, so it’s not too late to make this very hearty 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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
