Soups are one of the best winter warmer meals you can get. I get regular requests from my husband to make the following two soups, so I thought I'd share the recipes with you too!

Now that the winter nights are drawing in, I find myself turning more and more to hot dishes, such as soups, in order to keep the warmth in. My memories of soup from when I was a kid was that canned rubbish from Heinz - those horrendous 'Big Soups' that never really seemed to hit the spot. For me, soup isn't some thin stock with chunks, it’s thick, satisfying, rich, and you can almost stand a spoon up in it. Here’s a few of my favourite soup recipes: Bacon and Brie Soup: You Will Need: One medium sized onion, chopped 1 Stalk of Celery, chopped 75g Brie, rind removed and cubed 100g of Bacon, chopped 25g ...  Read the complete review
