Peanut Butter Soup
Friday, December 15, 2023This hearty peanut soup recipe is made with simple ingredients like all natural peanut butter and tomato puree, but packed with flavour and nutrients. It's dairy-free, gluten-free and keto-friendly. Natural peanut butter works the best for the soup as it is made with just fresh roasted peanuts and a dash of salt and contains no other additives like sugar, preservatives and trans fat. If you have a high-powered blender or processor, then it's very easy to make your own. Simply roast the peanuts, add them to the food processor with a little sea salt, and process to a smooth paste.

Apricot Gazpacho
Monday, August 07, 2023Raw, healthy, low calorie and gluten free! This easy vegetarian soup recipe is perfect for a refreshing summer lunch and a great way to use up ripe apricots (or peaches, cherries, watermelon, and strawberries). Use less water if you prefer a thicker soup. Serve with some crispy spiced peas for the crunch or just a couple of slices of apricots. Feta would be another good choice to use as a topping.
Tomato Mango Soup with Asparagus
Saturday, May 13, 2023A hint of mango adds a surprising subtle sweetness to this simple tomato soup. The soup is great served warm or chilled. I topped the soup with tender blanched green asparagus tips for a light and refreshing meal, but you can pair it with crispy croutons or baguette. For best result, use the ripe tomatoes and mango.
Purple Sweet Potato Soup
Wednesday, March 22, 2023This purple sweet potato soup has the fun and beautiful hue. It’s naturally gluten free, and if you want to go nut free and dairy free, just leave out the topping. Easy and quick to make, full of flavor and perfect for busy weekdays. Like regular sweet potatoes, they have a low glycemic index, making them a good option for a diabetic diet.
German Cheese and Leek Soup
Saturday, December 31, 2022Cheese spread, aka Schmelzkäse in Germany, and crème fraîche add a comforting creaminess to this indulgent cheesy leek soup recipe. It's a very popular soup in cold winter days here in Germany and traditionally, this German cheese leek soup (Käse-Lauch-Suppe) is prepared with ground meat. I had chosen to leave it out as I had a huge porterhouse as the main. However, you can top the soup with some crispy bacon bites and croutons for the crunchiness or simply serve it with some warm bread or rye crackers.
Cheese spread or processed cheese (Schmelzkäse in German) is made from ripe semi-hard cheese or fresh cheese (at least 50 %) with the addition of other milk products, such as butter or cream. It thickens sauces and soups and gives the dishes a fine, savoury note. Processed cheese is also perfect for gratin. It usually has a longer shelf life.
Roasted Carrot and Ginger Soup with Lentils
Monday, December 12, 2022Chestnut Pear Soup
Saturday, November 19, 2022The sweet chestnut has a high starch content - similar to potatoes. This ensures a sweet aroma and a particularly creamy consistency. The soup becomes naturally creamy, so to speak. And, by the way, it is also gluten-free and dairy free. The beauty of this soup is that it's quick and easy to make. You can safely use vacuum-packed chestnuts or those from the jar. They are already pre-cooked and peeled. The pear just adds a fresh, slightly fruity note. And goes perfectly with the nutty-sweet taste of the chestnuts.
Creamy Quince and Parsnip Soup
Monday, October 31, 2022This fruity and delicious soup will protect you perfectly during the cold season, as quince provides plenty of immune-boosting vitamin C and contains tannins and tartaric acid, which have antiviral and antibacterial effects. Along with vitamin C, parsnips are rich in potassium, a mineral that helps your heart function, balances your blood pressure, and lowers your risk for kidney stones. It's economical, easy to throw together with a few ingredients and incredibly versatile. Besides parsnip, you can also use pumpkin, root celery, carrot or sweet potato to make the soup.
Tomato and Red Pepper Soup
Sunday, September 04, 2022Soup isn't just for winter. For me, every season is soup season. This creamy, vitamins-loaded, simple tomato red pepper soup, adapted from olive magazine, makes a great light lunch with some homemade bread on a warm day or anyday and will use up the glut of tomatoes from your garden or farmer markets too. If you don't have roasted bell pepper, then use the fresh one or roast some yourself.
Sweet Potato & Carrot Soup with Peanut Crunch
Wednesday, January 05, 2022This silky smooth, super versatile vegetarian soup is perfect for the fall and winter months. It's naturally gluten-free and quick and easy to make. The crunchy garam masala peanut topping makes it over-the-top delicious! It can also be frozen for future lunches and dinners. If you need it dairy-free, just use thick coconut cream (without the coconut water) and a teaspoon of lemon juice instead of crème fraîche.
