At the end of October, the clocks go back, marking the transition from late summer warmth to the cosy embrace of Autumn...
The shorter days that follow create the perfect excuse for slowing down and appreciating the simple pleasures in life, like cooking for friends and family. Preparing and enjoying autumnal food is more than just feeding your body; it's about creating a sense of warmth and comfort in your home that balances the changing season outside.
There can be no greater comfort food than soup, and autumn soups, with their rich, earthy flavours take centre stage this month.
Following are three autumn soups to try this October featuring the fresh, seasonal vegetables from our organic vegetable boxes that, quite rightly, are the stars of the autumn table.
As the clocks change and the weather gets colder, enjoy a comforting bowl of soup and embrace the new season.
Cock-a-Leekie Soup
Leeks are abundant in October and are a staple in our autumn organic vegetable boxes. This warming soup sees the perfect partnership of leeks with our organic chicken thighs and drumsticks.
Both warming and nutritious, this soup will become a firm family favourite.
Vegan Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkins are the ultimate autumn vegetable and this delicious pumpkin soup is the perfect way to welcome in the season with its vibrant orange colour.
Wholesome, plant-based and packed with immune boosting Vitamin C and potassium, this soup is guaranteed to make you glow from the inside out.
If you don’t have pumpkins available, you can substitute with butternut squash or sweet potato.
Autumn Minestrone or end-of-the-fridge soup
This delicious soup is great for using up leftover vegetables from your Eversfield Organic box. It's a cheap and healthy meal choice that helps reduce waste.
This adapatable recipe is a combination of seasonal vegetables plus a pulse, grain or pasta. You can make endless variations depending on what you have available, and because it is so versatile, you can easily adapt it for those following a plant-based diet.
