Soup, glorious soup! Make sure you stay warm during the cold snaps this winter with bowls of steaming hot deliciousness to snuggle up with.

Butternut and orange soup

Have a bowl of "cheer up" soup – and a tasty butternut and orange soup with just a hint of curry and ginger presses all the right buttons.

Roasted garlic soup

If you are a garlic-aholic like me you will love this soup. It’s rich and creamy and simply bursts with the delightfully robust flavour of freshly roasted garlic and onion.

Good ol' chicken soup

When winter strikes there's nothing more comforting than a bowl of steaming chicken soup to warm both body and soul. Here's a tried and tested version that keeps things simple.

Superb Umbrian bean soup

Beans are wonderful creations and they tend to lift many dishes such as stews and soups to new heights and this version of Umbrian bean soup is lovely and it has the added dimension of other flavours to make it even tastier.

Pea and asparagus soup

Go green, quite literally, with this lovely, thick soup that blends two delicious flavours together masterfully.

Creamy roast tomato soup

This creamy, rich and tasty tomato soup bursting with the flavours of oven-roasted tomatoes and red pepper is one of my all-time favourite starters for winter or summer, served warm, at room temperature or cold.

Eisbein and lentil soup

Aromas of smokey pork will have your mouth watering in no time, while the good, wholesome lentils offer a substantial and healthy tummy-filler.

Oudtshoorn biltong soup

An old recipe that iafrica.com's chef, Henrie Geyser, rediscovered after the World Cup Soccer visited our shores. Enjoy this decadent and unusual soup with a good glass of red.

Rich beetroot soup

Celebrate the fine flavour of beetroot with this warming Russian borscht that's been adapted to a South African palate.
