Ahh! The smell of home made soup

As the cold, dark nights have arrived, I decided it was time to make my lovely vegetable broth. The smell of it is wafting through the house as I type. What is your favourite winter warmer (and I mean food wise people).

Do you have a fave recipe or do you have something you prefer to buy in?

I love home made soups! I make vegetable soup, a variation on ministrone, an Italian recipe called Zuppa di Brodo e Pomidori, a Chinese soup with prawns & cellophane noodles (spicy)..and love Hungarian goulash with stew beef, green peppers onions and lots of paprika, over egg noodles! Oh, and curries too! It's definitely warm hearty meal time now that it's so cold and dark...no more pasta salads for a while!

I'm a soup person too - make tons of it in the autumn winter. Anything and everything really.
Looking forward to some Greek bean soup next week. Have tried to replicate it at home and got quite close - tomato, onion, carrot, herbs, touch of heat (chilli?) and butter beans. Yummy!
I've posted a couple of soup recipes in the sticky - curried parsnip is great and the spicey peanut is a wonderful surpise.

Great, just seen it....thanks Alex!

What do you mean by 1 cup of 'Scotch Broth Mix'?

If you got to your local supermarket ie Asda or such like, find out where their bags of lentils are and you should find a packet of dried scotch broth mix. All it really contains is dried peas, split barley etc but the pack should only cost abround 80p and will make quite a few pots of soup.

Ahhh... thank you Alex, I've never used that before but will look out for it now!
