Instructions: Good soups are really only about good ingredients. A good soup can be made finished and in a bowl in minutes and still be as tasty as one that you have spent an hour or so preparing. Soups are one of those things that anyone can make. It can be as simple as sweating off some fragrant vegetables adding an additional flavour and a little stock and thats it. Then you just have to choose whether you want to leave your soup chunky and brothy or puree it like baby food (after all we all like baby food dont we?). To make it different you can add some cream or some croutons.

The good thing is that you can make soups out of just about anything and with a little bit of thought they can be delicious. Whenever I make a soup I always make it for 4 or 6 even if it is just for me and freeze the extra in those little plastic sandwich bags. (Freezing doesnt do the soup any favours but it will still be tastier than anything you can buy in a shop.)
