CARROT, LEMON AND TARRAGON SOUP (serves four)
By keeping this simple, the full
natural flavour of the carrots comes
to the fore, underlined by a hint of
fresh herbs. This is a great low calorie
soup which is quickly blended until
smooth with the Dualit hand blender.
Thyme, coriander or basil can be
used instead of tarragon.

CREAM OF MUSHROOM...
Homemade mushroom soup is a treat,
and needs few ingredients to make it
special. Choose full flavoured chestnut
mushrooms, and for real luxury
add some dried ceps or porcini
mushrooms. Soak them in hot water
for ten minutes or so to reconstitute
before using.
