We begrudgingly arrived back in to London from our wonderful week retreat on Friday night with a car full of vegetables. Waking up on Saturday morning with a heavy frost outside, I put some logs on the wood burner and set to the kitchen to make one of my favourite Winter soup recipes. A quick, cheap and delicious dish that is filling, warming and nutritious.

Hi Emi, so happy you were able to get away and had a nice time! Soup looks good and creamy…Yum! Cheryl
Thank you for your kind comment, Cheryl! We are back in London but longing to being back in the countryside. I hope you are well. Emi x
It’s summer time here in New Zealand, but I will have to add this to my list of winter recipes- it looks so warm and nourishing and I absolutely ADORE pumpkin soup!
Thank you! I love root veggies….they are so warming, filling and versatile. Enjoy the summer- it’s fre-e-e-e-zing here!
Well… I might have jinxed it- apparently it’s “summer” but this is NZ so it was freezing and pouring all weekend here (as we tried to move house)! So maybe this will be on the menu this week anyway!
Is it possible to put American measurements in your recipes as well? ie: cups, pounds, tablespoons, etc. It would be ever so helpful! I understand the accuracy of grams so don’t leave it out, but I still have American measuring tools so it makes it a little difficult for me. I’m not a very experienced cook.
Thank you in advance!
Hi April- thank you for your message and of course! I’ll spend some time on converting the measurements this weekend. Have a lovely weekend. Emi x
