When the weather cools down, I crave my favourite warming foods – porridge and soup.

But by mid-winter it can start to feel a bit boring, with a handful of recipes on rotation. Want to up your soup game? Here are my favourites that will get you through the coldest mnths.

A soup for every week of winter*

These soups are vegan, so they’re dairy-free and most are also gluten-free. But they’re adaptable if you want to add animal protein; just add a lamb shank to the barley and vegetable, an egg to the red lentil or chicken to the healing soup.

The recipes are simple and can all be made on a stove top, stock pot or Instapot (just follow manufacturers directions).

The basis of a great soup is good stock. If you’re interested in making your own, give this homemade stock recipe a go.
