Pumpkin Soup

Rich and creamy with just a hint of spice, pumpkin soup is an Aussie winter staple. Did you know the humble pumpkin is a powerhouse when it comes to health benefits? Brimming with antioxidants and nourishing vitamins A, C and E, this easy pumpkin soup recipe not only tastes heavenly but does a body good!

Pop a large saucepan on medium heat and sauté onions in olive oil until tender. Add in garlic, pumpkin, potato, carrots, leek and nutmeg, stirring to get everything coated. Pour over chicken stock and water then bring the pot to the boil. Once bubbling, reduce to a low heat and place on a lid. Allow to cook for 25 minutes so the veggies become nice and soft.

Once ready, allow the mixture to cool slightly then add in batches to a blender, processing until silky smooth. Turn the pot to a low heat and add the soup back in, along with a lashing of cream. Stir and serve with a generous sprinkle of pepitas, parsley and dried cranberries for the ultimate decadent meal.

Vegan Broccoli Soup

This cheesy vegan broccoli soup will have you stunned with its delightfully dairy-free recipe! Stacked with nutrient-rich broccoli to help stave off inflammation, improve immunity and regulate blood sugar, this recipe’s rich and creamy blend will keep you sustained and satisfied! 

Sauté onion, celery, carrot and broccoli stems in a large pot with oil, salt and pepper until softened. Pop in potatoes, garlic and broth and allow the pot to simmer for around 20 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender, allow the mixture to cool off while steaming half of the broccoli florets for 5 minutes in a basket set over water. Spread the remaining portion of florets and bread on baking sheets, drizzle over with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Roast in a preheated oven until golden brown.

Once the soup mixture has cooled, place in a blender with cashews, apple cider vinegar and mustard. Whizz up until the soup is creamy and smooth. Throw in the steamed broccoli with dill and lemon juice and pulse gently to allow the broccoli to remain chunky. Taste and season to perfection then top with the beautifully baked broccoli and croutons. 

Chicken Noodle Soup

There’s nothing like a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup when winter is on your doorstep! This universally loved recipe has been an age-old remedy for colds thanks to its hydrating broth that is loaded with electrolytes. A nutritional powerhouse, this soup offers protein, fibre and phytonutrients to keep you fighting fit.

In a saucepan, heat oil and sauté onion, celery and potato until tender. Pour in stock then cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Once the bubbles are rolling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook covered for a further 15 minutes. Throw in chicken and noodles and allow the soup to cook, partially covered until the pasta is al dente.

Once ready, mix through chopped parsley and season to taste. Serve with a hearty chunk of crusty bread lathered in butter.

Vegetable Soup

Another deliciously vegan option, this colourful vegetable soup is bursting with flavour. With a wide range of healthy veggies to give your body a powerful micronutrient boost, this comforting recipe is one of the most nourishing soups for winter. 

Combine onion, salt and oil in a large dutch oven. Cook, stirring until soft then add celery, garlic, carrots and potatoes to cook for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and sauté for a further minute. Pour over broth and water then add tomatoes, corn, beans, bay leaf and pepper. Bring the pot to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook covered for 35 minutes until the veggies are cooked through.

Turn off the heat and stir through parsley and lemon juice. Fish out the bay leaf and adjust to taste with generous helpings of salt and pepper.
