Take homemade soups to a new level with these tips and recipes

As the weather gets cooler we often turn to soup as a favourite winter warmer meal. Hot soups can keep the family well-fed, as well as warm and toasty. Soups are appealing for many reasons, and offer a range of benefits as a meal choice:
Soups are easy to prepare and relatively inexpensive
Once you have your ingredients ready, soups do not require a lot of hands-on cooking time. Using an appliance such as the Tefal Cook4me touch smart pressure multicooker makes preparing soups easier than ever before. With liquids and vegetables as key ingredients, and bread or salad as a side dish, soups offer a hearty meal at great value-for-money.
Soup is a healthy meal choice
Eating soup is a great way to get your daily quota of vegetables. While some cream-based soups can add calories, liquid-based soups are low calorie and rich in nutrients.
Cook once, serve all week
Soups freeze well, so if you prepare a large batch you have options for lunches and dinners through the week when you’re busy, or if you don’t feel like cooking.
Boost your immune system
Soups can help you stave off colds and flus through the winter months. And if you get sick, soup is a perfect antidote to help you recover and feel better. Chicken soup is a famous homemade remedy for illness, especially if you toss in fresh garlic, onions, celery and carrots that all contain powerful immune-boosting nutrients.

AWhen preparing soups for the kids, creative toppings will delight them and encourage them to grab a spoon and dig in!

While some soups are relatively basic in terms of ingredients and flavours (think classics such as tomato, pumpkin or chicken soups), soups definitely don’t need to be boring!
