About a quarter of a butternut squash, 4 carrots, 4 medium potatoes, small onion, 2 cloves garlic, veg stock cube and a thumb sized piece of chorizo. Chop and sauté, add water to required thickness, blend. I'm not really one for recipes but this is so easy, never fails and makes about 6 portions to freeze.

Not a recipe but more of a soup hack - I discovered this autumn that you can pierce a pumpkin a few times with a fork and put it in the oven for 30/40 mins and then it's super soft and easy to peel and add to soup

I hated peeling and chopping pumpkins before

its on @trufget's thread too, but Lentil and vegetable soup

Bag of Waitrose soffrito mix (diced onion, carrot & celery)
Can of tomatoes
cup of washed red lentils
seasoning & stock cube (garlic & chilli paste, salt, pepper, dried herbs)

saute the soffrito mix
add the lentils
add the tomatoes
add the seasoning & swill the tomato can with water to rinse it and add that
cook for 30 minutes, blitz with a soup stick type blender

this will be quite a solid density - add more water when you prepare it, but not a lot of point adding enough water to make if eating density, and taking up more space in the freezer/work bag

fine without, but really nice served with melted cheese on top.

1 large white onion chopped small
1 mug full of red lentils
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 litre stock, preferably ham but veg stock is good too
put in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 - 30 minutes
so easy and tasty, sorry it’s not chicken and rice!

Ooh, I love a good soup recipe. Will follow this thread for some ideas as my husband is very bored of lentil soup.

My favourite…

Roast tomatoes, onion and courgettes in garlic oil. Once soft, add veg bouillon, and whizz.

Serve with a poached egg, hard cheese shavings, and a drizzle of chilli oil. 😋

I seem to recall a really good thread on soup recipes not so long ago if you search - had some great recipes on

BeansCounter · 02/02/2025 16:02

Oh, timely, I'd love a good chicken and rice recipe, if anyone has one please.
