This spicy vegetable soup is a great belly-warmer on a cold day, but it’s not too heavy to enjoy as a summer soup, either. The base of the soup comes from classics such as celery, swede and carrots. The exciting unusual ingredient of the soup is dried apricots together with the spices, such as chilli flakes, turmeric and cumin. Blend them all together and you’ve got yourself a delicious spicy vegetarian soup that is suitable for vegans, too. Looking for more ideas?

  2. Add all the remaining diced vegetables and cook over a low heat for another 5 minutes until lightly browned
  3. Add the apricots and spices and fry for 1 minute then pour on the vegetable stock and bring up to the boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender
