But thankfully, more and more people are re-discovering the wonders of homemade soup. So if you are thinking about making some vegetable soups, here are my Top 5 vegetarian soups to try.
1. Roast Butternut Squash Soup
A real winter warmer, this soup is gently spiced and packed with flavour. Cut your squash into large chunks. There's no need to peel. Toss in a roasting tray or pan with a little olive oil, ginger and chilli. Season with salt and pepper and cook in the oven for about half an hour or until the squash is nice and soft. Transfer to a food processor and blend with some hot stock or water for a beautiful and tasty soup.
2. Chili Bean Soup
This recipe is so fast and so good. It uses a clever shortcut that really works - a can of store-bought chilli beans! These are cooked up with onions, garlic, chilli and tomatoes and finished with sour cream. This makes such a tasty and easy soup, it's even better with some guacamole on top.
