A Heartwarming Bowl Of Soup | September 10, 2008

There’s something magical about a bowl of soup on a cold day, it warms you up, clears your sinuses and gives you a satisfied fuzzy feeling all over.

Fall is the perfect time to cosy up to a steaming bowl with big flavours and wonderful contrasting textures. This soup combines silky pumpkin, smoky chorizo, nutty chickpeas and sweet paprika to create a complex flavour and filling chunky texture.

A quick squeeze of lime at the table and a drizzle of grassy extra virgin olive oil is all it needs to make your taste buds sing at meal time. Beat the … Read More »
