WINTER GREEN MINESTRONE
Recipe and image by Julie Le Clerc This soup’s rustic charm makes it easily adaptable to whatever vegetables you have on hand. Feel free to adjust the balance – if you prefer more pasta and fewer beans, go for it. In spring or autumn, try swapping the broccoli for zucchini or green beans. Serves 10–12 […]
The Magic of Minestrone
WORDS AND IMAGES JULIE LE CLERC Minestrone is the kind of dish that reminds a cook why they fell in love with food in the first place. It’s generous, adaptable and bursting with goodness. A true Italian classic, this rustic soup isn’t about precision – it’s about intuition, about using what’s in season, and about […]
VERY SOUPERSTITIOUS
Words and Images by Fiona Hugues In a world seemingly obsessed with health and wellness, somewhat boring broths and savoury soupy elixirs are appearing in all the bourgeoise spots frequented by the bendy fitspo crew (those active wear types all freshly unwound and retreated). Each to their own, but cynical me (who prefers a wild […]
SALMOREJO: CHILLED TOMATO SOUP
Recipes and images by Amber Bremner Salmorejo is a quick and easy chilled Spanish soup that captures the essence of summer tomatoes straight off the vine. Burstingly ripe tomatoes are blended with stale, good quality bread (I use home-made sourdough), a generous pour of olive oil, and the simple flavours of garlic, salt, pepper and […]
Leek and Fennel Soup with Frizzled Lentils
Words and Images by Emma Galloway Fennel really mellows when cooked, so I amp up the flavour again with toasted fennel seed flavoured lentils to top the soup with. If you can’t be bothered with the lentils (in their defence they add a nice boost of protein to the soup!), make a flavoured oil with […]
Curry Cauliflower Soup

This curry cauliflower soup will be on repeat this winter in my household! 1 large onion, sliced 1 red chilli, seeded and finely chopped 3cm thumb of ginger, finely grated (about 2 tbsp) […]
Pork And Furikake Wonton Soup

The use of Opito Bay Salt Co’s furikake rounds out the Japanese inspired soup and you’ll finish the bowl feeling nourished and warm. For the broth 2 litres of good quality chicken stock/broth ¼ cup miso 5cm thumb ginger, sliced 1 tbsp […]
Vietnamese Style Chicken Noodle Soup
Recipe Harriet Boucher, Images Ashlee Decaires Serves 6 Spring is still soup season in my eyes and this version of chicken noodle soup is soul warming and nourishing. The use of Asian herbs and spices brings a bit of culture into this classic soup, and I’m sure it’ll quickly become a family favourite. 1 whole […]
Creamy Kohlrabi Soup
Recipe and Images by Emma Galloway My love for kohlrabi runs deep. While sadly still not the most well known of vegetables, I was lucky enough to grow up eating homegrown kohlrabi as my parents had an extensive veggie garden. If you’re someone who fights over the broccoli stalk (me!), then you’ll love kohlrabi’s crunchy […]
Summertime Gazpacho with Basil Oil
Recipes Ian harrison, Sugo. Images Brydie Thompson Summertime Gazpacho with Basil Oil The trick to making this the best is using the best produce you can get. The farmers market must be the best place for these treats. You don’t want a strong olive oil for the basil oil because it will steal from […]
