SOUPs


Soups are something I really look forward to cooking once winter rolls around each year.

Wintery warm broths, bouillions, smooth or chunky which ever you prefer. Soups are a perfect alternative to the standard soggy sanga and also provide a healthy & nutritional meal, which warms you're heart and soul.
Our love of soups is inspired by our brilliant como advancedTM cookware range. Small or large qty's are covered with the 3.5L, 6L & 9L como cookware range

Delightful pears, which are deliciously ripe this month & Sweet potatoes combine exquisitely in this smooth Curried Pear & Sweet Potato Soup *, delicately spiced with a hint of sweetness you will be SCRAPING your bowl & looking for more...
*If you cant get your hands on Screaming Seeds spice mix, here is a spice mix recipe i use instead. Mine has whole Fresh spice seeds, which are much nicer than their ground sisters. When roasted as in this recipe the volatile oils are much stronger producing nose tingling aroma's throughout your kitchen.

Mini guru’s spice mix
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
¼ teaspoon ground Chili
5 cardamom pods
1 cinnamon stick
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Combine all the spices into a small bowl.

Add the spice mix to the recipe (Curried Pear & Sweet Potato soup - link above) when required.

NOTE: Remove the cardamom pods & cinnamon stick with the silicone slotted spoon after cooking time (25 minutes), before you blitz the mixture.


Cheers, mini g x
