Soup special: Vegetable soup

These zucchini and corn fritters are light, fluffy and fresh and are a great meal for children or as a light meal for adults. Serve with crispy bacon for a delicious dinner.

Lentils make a hearty addition to this French favourite.

While you can serve smaller portions as an entrée, this soup is filling enough to offer as a main course.

These hearty and healthy soups combine practicality with great taste.

The fresh taste of pea and mint topped with shards of parmesan are perfect in this light soup.

Use equal weight of carrot or pumpkin instead of potato if you like. Try adding 1 can asparagus spears, drained. Batter burns easily when cooking ham soldiers; adding the oil helps prevent burning. Note

Coconut milk and curry paste create a delicious Asian flavour in this pumpkin soup. Serve with crusty bread for a hearty first course.

Use any mixture of mushrooms in this recipe. Try flats. If sage is unavailable, use 2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary. Note

Bursting with the goodness of cauliflower and tasty leek, this soup is a great way to warm up your night
