Vickys Brussels Sprout Soup, GF DF EF SF NF Vegan
The supermarkets here always have the 5 main pre-packed vegetables going very cheap the week everyone is buying their Christmas dinner accompaniments. I got sprouts, parsnips, carrots, potatoes and onions for 15p a bag at Tesco, apparently Asdas were even cheaper! A lot of people dislike sprouts but we eat them all year round. Some people like to pair them with bacon or chestnuts at Christmas and you could certainly use ham stock if you like in this if you want to tone the sprout flavour down. I opt for half and half chicken / vegetable stock and you can add extra water depending on how thick you prefer your soup. Some cheese straws or crusty bread completes the meal

If you're not a fan of raw celery, neither am I but this soup is delicious! Celery tastes so much better cooked in my opinion. This is a thin but creamy, low calorie soup, great for lunch along with a sandwich. For more creaminess without the coconut cream, just add an extra potato -

Looks like the heatwave is over and we're back to our normal Scottish weather! Jack announced it must be a soup day so why not a traditional tattie soup? Add in whatever else you would like, this is the basic, bare bones version. Best with homemade stock - chicken, vegetable or ham - but old-fashioned tattie soup would have been made with beef or mutton bones. My grannie would boil up a ham hough for hers but for the sake of ease and what we enjoy the most, I use an equal mixture of chicken and vegetble stock cubes -
