Warm up this winter with these cosy soups
As the weather cools, we look forward to footy season, snow holidays and cozy nights in by a roaring fire (or heater!). In the kitchen, winter means one thing – hot and hearty soups that taste delicious and warm you up from the inside.
Soup is as versatile as it is tasty. It can be served as a light lunch (don’t forget some toasted bread to dip), an appetiser when entertaining, or a hearty winter dinner for the family. You can also batch cook your favourite soups and freeze portions, ready to heat and eat at work, or for when you don’t have time to cook.
Not only are soups ideal to warm you up, but they are also a very healthy meal choice, packed with nutrients to boost your immune system and help ward off those dreaded winter cold and flu bugs. Eating soup is also a great way to get your daily quota of vegetables.

Keeping it classic this winter
Parsnip soup
Simple and fast to prepare, this soup heroes the underrated parsnip which is at its peak in winter. Packing a nutritional punch, the parsnip is closely related to carrot and parsley, and features in this lovely refreshing soup that is best paired with some char-grilled bread.
Creamy broccoli soup
This budget-conscious soup is easy to make and can be prepared, cooked and served in less than 15 minutes. Broccoli is packed with nutrients and is a renowned superfood, and even those who profess a staunch dislike of broccoli will come around when this delicious, creamy and warm soup is served up this winter.
Cauliflower soup
Why not try this recipe as an alternative to pumpkin soup this winter. Small in calories and big on taste, cauliflower soup is healthy and delicious. This recipe is easy to make, and you can add curry powder to spice things up and suit your taste.
Soups with the wow-factor!
Lasagne soup
Yes, you read that right. Lasagne soup is a hearty twist on traditional lasagne and makes a perfect starter for a winter meal, or an easy mid-week meal on its own. Rich and cheesy, this soup comes complete with your choice of pasta to satisfy any appetite. Make it a meal with garlic bread on the side.
Chicken Enchilada soup
This colourful take on the popular Mexican dish packs a spicy punch and is a visual delight to serve up at dinner time. This soup is not only hearty and tasty, but the garlic, onions and carrots have plenty of immune-boosting nutrients.
Fried chicken ramen soup
For soup with a difference, serve the family this popular Japanese noodle dish. A meaty broth is complemented with rice noodles and crunchy crumbed chicken breast, topped with half an egg. This soup is easy to prepare and cook and is an ideal choice for a mid-week winter meal.
