Soup recipes

[FlatteredFool]

I'm stocking up my freezer for winter. It's not all that big but the library method of storing liquids means I can get a good amount of soup and sauce in there.
Does anyone have any veggie soup recipes that freeze well please? We love lentil with carrots and celery, and leek and potato but we need to have more variety. I tried a beetroot soup this week. Yuck. And I love beetroot. Nothing beats a bowl of homemade soup (and dumplings) with crusty bread and butter on a winters day.

• I like pea and ham soup. Usually a smoked hock, with a mix of root veg and peas which were soaked overnight.

• After a roast chicken, I always make a soup from the carcass. Again root veg and some barley.

• Parnsip soup is warming in winter

The parsnip sounds good.

I made fucking amazing soup tonight, a lucky fluke as just using up veg.

Roasted 1/4 onion, half a patty pan squash, half a butternut squash and about 8 tomatoes in the oven with a little olive oil, without peeling. When nice and roasted, peeled and skinned them, chopped up and simmered with about a pint of veg stock, some mixed herbs, pepper and a splash of soy sauce. Blended with hand blender.

OMG.

BBC GF Courgette and cheddar is delish and freezes well.

Don't know if it freezes well- you'd have to try a bit, but I love cauliflower cheese soup.

Hi, I have actually made soup from frozen veg, left over chicken and some dried, soaked soup mix. It was amazing. You can turn almost any leftovers into soup, just experiment. If it goes wrong, give it to the dog 🤣

Roast celery, red pepper, garlic, onion, tomatoes. Blitz with some veg stock! Drizzle with basil oil and chilli

Pea and ham soup. Ham joint, carrot, celery, turnip, split peas, ham stock.

Chicken and barley soup. Chicken Carcass, carrot, onion, celery and barley in chicken stock

Roast butternut squash. Roast squash, celery, garlic. Boil with tin of sweetcorn in veg stock and blitz

I make Communist Soup. It's deliciously warming.
Red onion
Red lentils
Jar of roasted red peppers
Small jar of harissa paste

Curried parsnip: fry some onion until transparent. Add curry paste, parsnips, an apple and some veg/chicken stock. Simmer, then blitz with a blender.

Pea and mint: make up some hot veg/chicken stock. Add a bag of frozen peas, some mint jelly, and some cooked potato, and blitz.

Butternut squash soup: fry off some onion. Add butternut squash, some green Thai curry paste, and some veg stock. Simmer, then blitz. Stir in some creamed coconut.

Potato soup. Fry off some onions, add potato, veg stock and some herbs. Simmer, then blitz. Add black pepper.

Spiced parsnip and apple. Chop the parsnips and an apple and fry off with an onion. Add a veggie stock cube and some curry paste or spices of your choosing.

Or broccoli and cheese. A head or more of broccoli including the stalk plus stilton or cheddar with some veggie stock. Some cream cheese makes it extra delicious, plus plenty of pepper.

I love a french onion soup

Even better is leftover french onion soup with leftover roast potatoes and fennel chucked in it!

Also a spicy sweetcorn soup from an ancient vegan cookbook I have. From memory it’s onion, carrot, celery, potato, red pepper, sweetcorn - all diced to approx sweetcorn size (the potato cooks right down)
Chillis to taste, (fresh dried or flakes whatever you have), veg stock and a generous dollop of crunchy peanut butter
