You need a soul-warming soup, and you need it pronto. Luckily, these quick recipes deliver big flavour in little time. If it’s creamy soups you desire, then make our cauliflower and bacon soup, spiced pumpkin soup with beans sprouts recipe or our oh-so-creamy pumpkin and ras el hanout soup. And for those who have been craving a hot broth soup all day long, make our spicy roast chicken noodle soup, or try something milder like chicken broth with ginger, turmeric and lemongrass.

Your ladle won’t get a break with our warming winter soup classics.
