Healthy Soup Recipes
For Every Occasion

Healthy soup recipes can be made with almost any type of food as the main ingredient.

Because of this one word springs to mind when I think about soups... 'Versatile'.

Soups can be anything from hearty fish chowder to a chilled tomato soup for a hot summer’s day.

The list of possible homemade soup recipes is almost endless and is limited only by the imagination.

Not only are they quick and easy to make but they're also a great source of nutrition and score highly with the recommended 5 portions of fruit and veg a day. Click here for the latest 5 A Day guidleines.

As well as a quick and easy light lunch, healthy soup recipes can also be used as the starter at a dinner party. Soups are ideal for this as they can be prepared well in advance and kept in the fridge for up to 24 hours, leaving one less job to do when your guests arrive.

As with all the recipes on this site the key to their success is to use fresh seasonal ingredients. This is particularly important with soups as freshness equals flavour: seasoning during the cooking process is also key as this lifts the flavour to a another level.

Below are some of my favourite healthy soup recipes, and most of them are made with chicken stock. If you want to create a vegetarian alternative then simply replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock.

Pro chefs will no doubt tell you that soup cannot be called fresh unless it’s made with freshly made stock. I don’t get hung up on this: life’s to short, the use of stock cubes in these recipes keep them simple.

Be sure to try the pea and mint soup, but be warned you'll get asked to make it again, family members have turned up at my house carrying a bag of frozen peas, It's that good!
