I love making soup in winter. It’s something that’s so easy to dismiss as boring and bland, but there’s nothing more comforting than a big warm bowl of comforting soup on a cold day. It’s a dish that offers endless possibilities and actually allows you to pack in a serious amount of healthy stuff and…

Vegetable Soup
This recipe I’m sharing with you is actually one I make on a pretty regular basis. This is mainly because it’s so ridiculously easy and doesn’t involve a ton of fancy ingredients and only takes around 15 minutes to make. In addition to this, it’s also really tasty, especially considering that all the ingredients are…
My Leftover Challenge
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll be aware that last week I set myself a bit of a challenge. Normally I’m the one that travels for work, but this time The Boyfriend was away, so finding myself rattling around at home on my own I decided to set myself a foodie challenge. When he…
Thai Turkey Meatball Soup
Today I’d like to introduce you to my new favourite midweek meal. We all love a curry, but I have to confess Thai green curry is my absolute favourite. The combination of those classic flavours of lemon grass and ginger is just so uplifting and refreshing, I feel like I’m eating a bowl full of…
Broccoli & Stilton Soup
Let’s face it we all live very busy lives and many of us work long hours and there’s not always time to do loads of cooking in the evenings when you’ve also got washing to sort out, cleaning to do etc. Sometimes you just can’t beat the convenience of a ready meal. However, your ready…
Hearty Sausage Soup with Pasta
This recipe has been a long time coming on Diary of a Saucepot. It’s one of those dishes that you begin making at a certain time in your life and adapts, develops and ages with you. The original version came from a long since lost student cookbook. It has matured, grown up in it’s own way…
Asian Seafood Broth with Rice Noodles
I don’t know about you but after the over indulgence of Christmas and New Year I seem to have begun the new year with an aversion to heavy stodgy food and find myself craving lighter, fresher, less carby and healthier meals. Being a lover of all things pasta and potatoes I do find it quite…
Spicy Tomato Soup
I was inspired to invent this recipe after Tyron cooked me a three course meal a few weeks ago and did an absolutely delicious tomato soup for our starter. So naturally I pinched his recipe and made a few adaptations. One of my favourite things about soups is how healthy they can be, this one…
Brasserie Zédel, Piccadilly
Eating out in London, whilst one of my favourite past times, can be quite expensive and I therefore reguarly take advantage of pre-theatre menu offers, voucher deals and fantastic schemes such as the Tastecard. I was however pleasantly surprised when I discovered Brasserie Zédel as an affordable restaurant in the middle of the West End…
