Coconut Broth Prawns with fried aromatics
by Yotam Ottolenghi
from Ottolenghi Test Kitchen: Extra Good Things
“This dish is inspired by South East Asian flavours and is all about building depth starting with the base, which uses prawn shells to make a rich and spicy broth. Feel free to add other types of fish or shellfish, cooking them directly in the broth. Serve this with the fragrant coconut rice or just plain jasmine or brown rice.”

My Ouma's Barley, Red Lentil & Split Pea Soup
by Cariema Isaacs
from Spice Odyssey
“I remember many cold and rainy afternoons in Bo-Kaap when my Ouma (grandmother) would make barley soup. My brothers and I would come in from the rain, often soaking wet from playing outside. We’d look like wet little puppies, just waiting to be warmed and cuddled. After we’d washed up and dressed in a fresh set of clothing, we’d eagerly wait for her warm and comforting barley soup. Love in a bowl from Ouma’s Bo-Kaap kitchen.”
Sweet Potato Chilli Soup & Avo
by Jamie Oliver
from ONE
"Slice some leftover sweet potato. Blitz some chilli in a blender, loosening with a little water, if needed. Reheat both in a pan until piping hot, then serve with cubes of ripe avocado, fresh coriander leaves, yoghurt or soured cream, and toasted tortillas."
by Prim Reddy & Niranj Pather
from Temptations
"This is arguably one of my favourite soups. It’s rich, creamy and luxurious. Served with toasted bruschetta, it’s so delicious, you may choose to skip the main."

This vibrant and aromatic soup is perfect for those following a low-carb or sugar-free diet. Store-bought pastes may contain sugar, so crafting your own ensures a healthier, flavourful base. For extra heartiness, add meatballs, making this dish a satisfying meal.
