A moment of reflection - as as we glided through the last days of autumn, I found myself drawn to the comfort of seasonal recipes that warm both the body and the soul. In the quiet, creative space of my kitchen, over the past few weeks, I’ve been flipping through my trusty recipe file compendium and scrolling through Drive on my iPad; I stumbled upon a little gem from years past — pimiento and tomato soup. 🍅🫑
This isn’t just any soup — it’s the kind that fills your kitchen with a divine aroma, making you pause and inhale deeply, savoring the cozy anticipation of cooler days ahead. It’s incredibly simple, ready in about 15 minutes, making it perfect for a quick lunch or a nourishing treat on a busy day. A dollop of sour cream on top, and suddenly, it feels like a little celebration in a bowl. 🍜
Winter is a season of slowing down, and indulging in small pleasures. This soup is my reminder that even in the rush of life, there’s always time to enjoy something delicious, comforting, and soul-satisfying.
When it comes to nutrition, I aim to think outside the circle when it comes to healthy solutions to prep meals in a busy week as part of a menu plan. The pimiento and tomato soup is an old favourite I haven’t prepared for many years - a bonus, the recipe can be cooked in a microwave in the background, in between working on other projects, then whizzed in a blender or food processor ready to serve. 😋
