Much of this soup's appeal is in its simplicity. Packed with fresh flavours, mixing pasta with bites of chicken and a bounty of just-tender vegetables, it is easy to see why this soup is traditionally eaten as a restorative. Serve it as a starter and enjoy the extra chicken in sandwiches the next day.

This heavenly spiced soup is so easy to make and warms you through on cold rainy evenings. This large batch is great for feeding a crowd, and also freezes well.

This is one of the simplest soups to make with wonderful exotic flavours provided by lemongrass, coconut, ginger and chilli. The addition of instant soup noodles makes it quick and easy to prepare in one pan.

I love chicken and sweetcorn soup from the Chinese and can go through bowls of the stuff so decided to give making it a go with great success! I don't buy it any more. Make a big pot of this and you're in soup heaven!

A relatively quick, yet satisfyingly rich soup. It is hearty, low in salt and fat and truly delicious. Whether serving it for lunch or supper, it will be warmly welcomed.
