Souper Douper Rescue Remedies

It was party central in our house this week-end. It was our village fundraising ball where I had the pleasure of being part of the catering team.  The event was so fabulous from start to finish with the decorating committee somehow managing to turn our drafty village hall into a fairy tale wonderland and we served 140 of the most fancily dressed fairy tale fans with roast duck, boulangere potatoes, minted pea puree, red cabbage and two sauces.

With Sunday being recovery day it was the perfect opportunity to experiment with some fabulously warming autumnal eats of our own in the form of soups that really hit the spot. My pot turned to the magic that is Miso Dressing with Ginger (a Great Taste Award winner no less) to create two new recipes for your repertoire.

First up is the most clarifying, wholesome Miso Chicken Noodle Soup with Lincolnshire collard greens and wheat free soba noodles...



Next a deeply satisfying Miso Maple Bacon Chowder chunky with baby potatoes, corn, peas and ham caramelised with a touch of Maple Caramel Sauce believe it or not, along with the perfect Asian twist from the Miso Dressing...



Another award winner is our consultant Anne Hales' entry into our recipe competition, her Carrot & Cashew Moqueca Soup with our Bombay Onion Cheese Ball Mix used to spice it up a little



Finally, something more unusual but absolutely stunning - a Moroccan Spiced Banana Soup which features our Saffron Tagine Paste and a couple of ripe bananas which give a subtle sweetness and velvety texture...



And as if we haven't learned our lesson, we have a Halloween party just around the corner but with these rescue remedies we'll be sure to be feeling souper douper again.

Enjoy!
