My soup is always awful. I need recipes.

Just as the title says. Just made soup. It's not good. Very 'meh'. I need some good recipes. I like cooking so they don't have to be super simple but they have to be delicious!!

I really want to make Coldhands soup for quite a few people actually

Leek and stilton soup is the easiest soup ever to make and is delicious.

25g butter
700g leeks thinly sliced
1 large potato (275g) cut into 1cm cubes
570ml water
2 veg stock cubes
120g stilton grated
150ml single creeam
salt and pepper.

melt butter in pan ans stir in leeks and potato, let the veg sweat for 3-4 mins.

add water and stock cubes to the pan and bring to the boil, simmer for 15-20 mins until potato is soft.

Throw all ingredients into a blender (I use a handheld on in the pan its easier) and blend until smooth.

Return to heat and stir in the stilton, salt and pepper until melted then just before serving stir in the cream.

Serve with crusty bread.

Excuse my typos, they are appalling!

Not a recipe, but I always find you need so much more seasoning than you think you do - dried herbs, spices, pepper, etc. Salt will depend on what stock you're using but I always like loads of that too!

Fry an onion in som evil.
Add a tin of tomatoes.
Half fill the tin with red lentils and add those.
Rinse the tin to shift all the lentils that have stuck and add that too.
Add a dessertspoonful of pesto and some oregano and some stock. I use either a tiny bit of venom, like a quarter to half a teaspoon or a sprinkle of marigold low salt.
Cook. Once the lentils have softened you have tomato lentil soup. You might need a bit more liquid. You can add a carrot and/or some celery with the onion.

The soup of Satan

Zero I saw your soup on another thread and it sounds gorgeous. I am definitely going to make it.

Love this thread.

I've never tried soup mix before, but now I'm going to. Am also adding venom to my Sainsbo's order...

Black bean soup -
Fry onion, diced sweet potato and red pepper.
Add chipotle paste, garlic, splash of red wine or wine vinegar, dried thyme and a chopped red chilli.
Drain a couple of tins of black beans and mash them with a fork before adding to pan.
Add water and cook for ages until the beans and vegetables are meltingly soft - mashing occasionally as you cook.
Eat with nachos and guacamole, with a dollop of soured cream.
