Soup – Veggie Runners

Vegan Spiced Pumpkin Soup

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 15:27:00 +0000

Everyone loves a warming winter soup and this Vegan Spiced Pumpkin Soup is one of the very best. Guaranteed. It’s really easy to make too and this recipe gives 6-8 servings – depends on how hungry/greedy you are… or maybe on how much running you’ve done before supper time. Either way, it makes plenty for...

Kale and Sesame Soup

Jayne Rodgers — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 13:18:53 +0000

Kale is a superfood, right? That’s what people have been saying for ages. It’s rich in anti-oxidants, with an ORAC rating of 1770 (I don’t really know what that means but it sound good, doesn’t it?) It’s high in iron, has anti-cancer properties, it’s anti-inflammatory and on and on. Of course, there’s now a kale...

Beetroot and Roasted Red Onion Soup

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 11:25:08 +0000

Among my many, varied and mostly useless talents, I have an uncanny knack for finding a song for any occasion. You say a word, I have a song for it. Which is why I can often be found moonwalking in my kitchen whilst singing ‘Beetroot, just beetroot…’, in the manner of Michael Jackson. We’ve told...

Fennel and Black Eyed Bean Soup

My mum/Bibi’s grandma, Shirley, is far too busy having fun to spend all her time in the kitchen. She’s a world famous blogger for a start* and she has her writing group, reading club, gym sessions, charity shop work, coffee with her mates, hair do once a week without fail etc etc to keep...

Cumin-Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Soup

Jayne Rodgers — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 19:19:03 +0000

Someone told us recently that what she likes about Veggie Runners recipes is that they feel like real food made by real people in real kitchens. None of that marinading ingredients for 2 days, chopping 40 bulbs of garlic into tiny slivers or sourcing obscure ingredients (well, only occasionally). Our deal is: You get hungry....

Borlotti Bean and Tamarind Soup

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 09:53:17 +0000

When the weather is chilly, there are many reasons to rejoice. First among these is the opportunity to start sourcing new winter running gear (like we don’t have enough already). Then there’s running in the dark, which we love. Best of all, the changing season means it’s time for big, hearty soups. Yippee! All of this adds...

Sweet Potato and Spring Onion Soup

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:20:55 +0000

Ever have those days when you think the cupboard is bare and it turns out it’s not nutritionally naked at all but bursting full of good-for-you tastiness? I had one such recently, thumping a couple of sweet potatoes on the worktop and wondering what on earth I was going to do with them this time....

Vegan Lentil Soup with Marmite Drizzle

Jayne Rodgers — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:02:00 +0000

Marmite haters, look away now. This Vegan Lentil Soup with Marmite Drizzle is emphatically not for you. In the olden days it would have been no use to readers outside of the UK either. But – joy of joys, miracle of miracles, all hail the internet – you can now buy Marmite online and have it...

Curried Split Pea and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Jayne Rodgers — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 07:00:49 +0000

Split peas are one of those dry goods that can hang around in your store cupboard for years, unused and unloved. Which is a shame because you can make some amazingly tasty recipes with them. I mentioned the bag of split peas lurking in my pantry before when I wrote up our Spicy Thai Bean...

Broccoli, Bean and Basil Soup

Bibi and Janey — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:05:39 +0000

When Bibi was little her favourite joke went like this. Customer in restaurant, pointing to his dish: ‘Waiter, what’s this?!’ Waiter: ‘Why, it’s bean soup, Sir.’ Customer: ‘I know it’s bean soup but what is it now?!’ Ho ho, how we laughed. Bean and been – to a child just learning to spell this was...
