3 of our ultimate comforting soups

ADVERTISING PROMOTION

We love a good soup in winter – admit it, few things bring as much comfort like a steaming bowl of soup. Here of 3 of our favourites, designed to warm your heart and belly.

Roast tomato soup with cheesy phyllo sandwiches

This soup does take a bit of time, because you have to roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup – but believe us when we say it’s worth the effort. And did you catch the part about the cheesy phyllo sarmies?

Broccoli soup with cheddar-and-mustard baguette

Get your greens in with this hearty broccoli soup – a nice cheesy slice of baguette prevents it from being too virtuous. Plus it’s super quick & easy to make.

Then of course … If you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen, Woolworths’ freshly cut veg soup packs are just what the doctor ordered. Quick and easy to prepare, the range is made using freshly cut, locally sourced veggies and herbs, including Woolworths’ exclusive Kara sweet potatoes and Nicola potatoes, and all the beans and legumes have been pre-soaked to cut down on cooking time. It couldn’t be easier – as you’ll see below, for three more soups that go all out in the comfort stakes.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

• Cook the split pea soup pack according to package instructions and serve with charred leeks, steamed peas and sugar snaps.
• Cook the chilli, butternut and chickpea soup according to package instructions, but leave half the mix unblended for a bit of texture. Serve with chickpeas fried in paprika and oil, fresh coriander and a swirl of coconut cream.
• For the potato-and-leek soup, cook the pack according to package instructions and serve with pan-fried exotic mushrooms, a drizzle of truffle-infused olive oil and grated Parmesan.
