Pre-Fast Barley Soup – Low GI and Slow Releasing Energy

September 28, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

Growing up, my mum used to make this most amazing barley soup once the cold weather hit. Being an old, Jewish recipe, it used lamb. Of course, being vegetarian, this is no longer an option and I have put off making the vegetarian version because I just never knew if it would be the same….

Carrot & Coriander Soup

September 2, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Autumn is now upon us in London, and I’m feeling the drop in temperature instantly. I tend to make heaps of soups during the winter months. They are great for lunch as they fill you up but are super nutritious also, if you use the right ingredients. Carrots are a great source of fibre and…

These flavours go so well together I just had to do it! I got a load of mushrooms in my Abel & Cole delivery this week so soup it is! I love making a soup at the beginning of the week that will last me for the whole week… great for lunch alongside a salad…

Cauliflower & Tahini Soup

February 1, 2015 by theorganicspoon 3 Comments

I love cauliflower, especially as a purée, because of the beautiful smooth texture it blends into. This soup makes use of that, and the addition of tahini makes it even creamier! Cauliflower contains sulforaphane, which has been shown to kill cancer stem cells, thereby slowing tumor growth. Researchers believe that eliminating cancer stem cells may…

Butternut Squash & Ginger Soup

January 30, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Another warming soup for another cold London day. You can probably tell by all my recipes how much I love butternut squash! Butternut squash have a lower glycemic index than potatoes and are high in fibre so great for the metabolism. They’re packed with Vitamin A and potassium, are low in calories (low GI) and high in…

Swede and Courgette Soup

January 21, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

You’ll find with most of my soups they literally consist of whatever vegetables I have lying around – I don’t plan them. It was freezing on Sunday and we really fancied soup so I looked in my fridge and I had two courgettes, and I looked in the pantry and there was a swede. So…

Anti-Inflammatory Parsnip & Turmeric Soup

January 21, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

As you may well know about me already, the disease I had was rheumatoid arthritis. The pain was unbearable but the swelling, the fluid, inside the joints was the worst thing – it was so uncomfortable. I used to explain that it felt like jelly in between the joints as they moved – eugh! I…
