Simple Soups to Bridge the Seasons
March 21
My cooking is stuck in that awkward in-between phase where I don’t know whether I should be cooking stews or making lighter salads. It’s the time of year when I want something warming but not too heavy, fresh but still comforting. Soups tick the box and are the ultimate quick kitchen fix: easy to make, endlessly adaptable, and perfect for batch cooking.
Spiced Moroccan Harira
I first tried a bowl of Harira on a cold February morning in the back streets of the Medina in Marrakech. It’s packed with warming spices, chickpeas, lentils, and sometimes tender meat, making it the kind of dish that sticks to your ribs but still feels light enough for spring. It’s also the perfect soup for batch cooking- make a big pot, and you’ll have lunches sorted for days. A squeeze of lemon at the end brings everything to life, making it a bright, fragrant bowl that’ll keep you coming back for more.

Ramen with Soy-Marinated Egg and Pork Belly
Another favourite soup of mine is Japanese Ramen- particularly for this time of year. The traditional versions require a little more time but for a bastardised midweek version the recipe here fits the bill. It’s completely customizable—switch up the protein, add your favourite greens, or go full veggie. Either way, once you crack open that jammy egg into the broth, you’ll feel like a ramen master.

Tomato Hoop Soup with Cheese Croutons
Tomato Hoop Soup with Cheese Croutons, this one is pure nostalgia! Tomato soup is already a classic, but adding pasta hoops turns it into a bowl of pure joy. The key here is the cheese toastie croutons- crispy, golden bites of melty, cheese sambo floating on top. Whether you’re feeding kids or just treating yourself, this is the kind of soup that will bring you right back!

As the seasons start to shift and we inch closer to longer evenings and brighter days, these soups will see you through the last of the chilly nights and the first sprinkles of spring. Hearty enough to keep you cozy and if there’s one thing that will tick the box, it’s a good bowl of soup.
