Iraqi Lentil Soup (Vegan)

Iraqi Lentil Soup (Vegan)

Super easy and nourishing soup that's ready in 30 minutes. This Iraqi lentil soup only calls for a handful of ingredients and there's no blending required (less washing up!). It's also fairly high in protein and fibre. I feel like Iraqi food (and Middle Eastern food in general) doesn't get anywhere near the attention it deserves. I know I'm biased when saying this (because I grew up eating it), but Middle Eastern food is the tastiest, most delicious cuisine ever! It can also be fairly healthy with lots of colourful veggies, protein, spices and fresh herbs. As you can imagine for a hot country like Iraq, soups weren't the most popular thing to eat. This is the one and only [...]

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup

Butternut Squash Turmeric Ginger Soup Now that I’ve embarked on my 30s, it’s crucial for me to look after my body in any way that I can. In my younger days, it was so easy to think I was invincible, like nothing would ever hurt me. I was so used to my body being able to bounce back and recover from pretty much anything. It’s only when I started getting the aches and pains that come as a result of accumulated injuries/physical stress, bad posture and the natural process of aging that I started to consider taking steps to look after myself! Now, that resilience I grew so used to having is fading and I find myself looking for ways [...]

Chilli Butternut Squash Soup

Chilli Butternut Squash Soup

Chilli Butternut Squash Soup Up until recently I've never been a huge soup fan. I just didn't grow up eating much soup, apart from lentil soup (my fave), so it never appealed much to me. However over the past few weeks I found myself actually craving soups, so I started to buy ready made soups when doing my weekly food shop. I'm usually a cold meal kind of person and I'm not usually fussed whether a meal is hot, room temperature or cold, but recently my body has been craving warm food. Comfort foods mainly. Stews, curries, porridge...and soup! I decided to try making my own instead of relying on ready made soups. They're fairly easy to make, cost a lot less and [...]

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free)

Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup (Vegan & Gluten-free) A delicious, warming and comforting bowl of noodle soup packed with protein and vegetables. Whoever thought of adding noodles to soup is a genius! Two comforting meals merged together can only result in something even more amazing! This Coconut Edamame Noodle Soup is all I've been craving the past couple of days. It really looked like spring was finally in the air and the cold days of winter were behind us, but it seems I spoke too soon! Yesterday and today have felt rather chilli and I have to admit I did resort to turning the heating back on, which I hoped I wouldn't have to do again until next winter. To make [...]
