So, a combination of comfort yet healthy vegetarian food, minus alcohol and without too many calories on a cold January day. What to have?
The Answer? Soup of the day. Soup every day. Super soup.
There are so many recipes for soup using a myriad of ingredients; you could probably have a different one every day of the month. And if that doesn't blow your mind, you can add a different topping every day too. There are no limits.
Below are a few ideas, just compliment the flavours:-
Oil - a drizzle of your favourite (ie truffle) or just good old extra virgin olive oil
Condiments - mustard, soy sauce, hot sauce, Hendersons ...
Seeds - toasted pumpkin, sunflower ...
Cream - creme fraiche or yogurt if you're watching your waistline, or coconut milk
Herbs - fresh, lightly fried or dried
Spices - for a warm kick
Fruit and Veg - grated in to compliment the soup - carrot, beetroot, apple ...
Dried onions - for a slight crunch
Nuts - chopped and sprinkled
Cheese - dabs of goats cheese or a Parmesan equivalent (Gran Moravia)
Croutons - any size or shape with any flavouring to float on top
Puff pastry - ditto
Cheese straws - ditto
Popcorn - plain or salted
Go on - make it a souper day.
