Ajo Blanco con Uvas

Recipe by: DAY-STAR

Be the first to review it!

This is a cold, garlicky Spanish soup - perfect in summer, especially if you can't make it to Spain. Fresh almonds, just out of their shells, are traditionally used. This version calls for ground almonds, as fresh almonds are hard to come by here.

Asian-style Noodle Soup

Recipe by: Angie

Be the first to review it!

In Asia, there are different kinds of 'noodle soup'. This one is a great comfort food on a cold day, but also light and healthy. Quantities are arbitrary - adjust to own taste. Very important to add the shallots as they give the fragrance and flavour. Instead of egg noodles, sometimes I use macaroni. If you are adventurous, eat with chopped hot chilli pepper or add some dried chilli flakes to make the soup spicy.

Authentic Thai Tom Yum Soup

Recipe by: STEVE ALDER

Be the first to review it!

An authentic Thai hot and sour soup. Do not attempt to omit the coriander, as this is essential. Use thai basil instead of regular basil if you can find it. Tom yum paste is hot, so try the soup before adding the chilli and decide if any extra heat is required. You can buy the paste in Asian supermarkets or there's a brand called "Thai taste" at Waitrose. This is well worth the trouble!
