An invigorating, satisfying and wholesome lentil soup from the inspired vegetarian ” Dinner” cook book by Meera Sodha. You can use any greens you like but make sure they are cooked until they are soft. The yoghurt and fried onions to serve are optional but highly recommended.
A one pan vegetarian supper from the inspired ” The Green Roasting Tin” by Rukmini Iyer. In this recipe the polenta is baked rather than first cooked on top of the stove.
Another soup from ” Greenfeast: autumn, winter” by Nigel Slater. I have also seen a version of this recipe where pork meatballs are added to the soup. You can use any stock you like for this soup- homemade, ready made from a supermarket or made up from bouillion powder.
A warming vegetarian supper inspired by Thai jungle curry from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. Serve with rice, and extra chillies if wished.
A favourite recipe from ” New Covent Garden Book of Soups ” with influences from Lesotho and Trinidad. They used to sell this soup in cartons but I havent seen it for many years and have to make my own at home.
A Pintxo recipe which serves 6 as a starter or side dish from ” Basque” by Jose Pizarro . When you cook broad beans for a long tiome they become very soft and nutty. If you buy the broad beans when they are very young you will not need to double pod the beans, but you can also use frozen broad beans.
A seasonal Middle Eastern recipe which I found in Delicious magazine. The lamb, onions and herbs can be cooked in advance and frozen, but its best to cook and add the rhubarb when you are ready to serve.
