Our fresh soup       Where to buy our fresh soups...

We love great-tasting soup, which is why we make it fresh every day. We start with a headful of ideas and a chopping board piled high with ingredients – we chop, blend, season and simmer until our soup tastes as fresh as our ideas.

Soup of the Month.

  • Asparagus

    This is where luxury and simplicity come together - in the seductive aroma and creamy green of pureed asparagus and in the easy finish of onion and potato.

  • Apple Vichyssoise
  • Broccoli & Stilton

    Pale, creamy and endlessly comforting - here's the tasty green of softened broccoli florets, the lively tang of mature stilton and lingering warmth of black pepper.

  • Beetroot & Redcurrant
  • Carrot & Coriander

    Our original and most popular fresh soup. We were the first to spice the sweetness of carrot with nutmeg and the peppery zing of coriander leaves. Where we lead, others follow...

  • Chicken Soup

    Rich, velvety and inviting - our full flavoured chicken soup comes with the sparkle of white wine and the satisfaction of double cream, pureed garlic and soft onion.

  • Chilli Bean

    A veritable bean feast! Aromatic, earthy and packed with wholesome goodies. A subtle warmth develops to excite your taste-buds, as we say in our kitchen 'Eat fresh soup, for goodness sake'!

  • Creamy Parsnip

    In honour of this often forgotten veggie hero, we've kept our recipe simple. Fragrant, slightly sweet parsnips married with warming roasted garlic and cream. Delightful.

  • Gazpacho

    King of the summer 'liquid lunch', that's our Gazpacho. Tangy tomatoes with chunks of flavour-packed peppers and juicy cucumbers. Serve ice-cold for a totally refreshing light soup. Or serve hot to unleash the sweetness of our ripe tomatoes for a heartier bowlful of summer cheer.

  • Leek & Potato

    Soup that's as heart-warming as we can make it - generous slivers of leek softened in a melt-in-the-mouth blend of potatoes, onions, milk and cream.

  • Lentil & Smoked Bacon

    Thick, generous and reviving - we've packed this smokey, aromatic soup with lentils, bacon and oak-smoked garlic, then finished with a swirl of English mustard.

  • Moroccan Chickpea

    Heating up this soup will fill your kitchen with the pungent aromas of exotic spices, native to the souks (open air markets) of Morocco. We've combined authentic warm and earthy flavours with the subtle sweetness of apricots.

  • Minestrone

    An exuberant mix of colours, flavours and textures - chunks of garlic and a scattering of fragrant Mediterranean herbs.

  • Pea & Ham

    Thick, smokey and reviving, this is the soup for dull days - with whole peas and small chunks of prime-cut ham, it's a generous bowlful of pea-green cheer.

  • Pea & Mint

    Summery green best describes this soup. With the refreshing aroma and flavour of rich green mint, and the seasonal appeal of peas, this is a sublime combination. It encourages us to firmly hold on to every single moment of sunshine during our British summer.

  • Plum Tomato & Basil

    Light, fragrant and easy - this refreshing swirl of chopped tomato and herbs packs all the flavour of juicy ripe tomatoes with an aromatic handful of basil, oregano and rosemary.

  • Plum Tomato & Mascarpone

    There's a real flavour intensity to our delicious plum tomatoes. To balance their sweetness, we've stirred in a dollop of silky mascarpone cheese for a smooth Italian style treat.

  • Red Pepper & Thai Basil

    When our chefs chopped some fresh Thai basil in front of us, the heady liquorice aroma inspired us to create this new, vibrant and tasty soup. Marrying the Thai basil with red peppers, it's perfect for a lighter meal.

  • Summer Vegetable

    Q: Without reading the ingredients list, we wonder if you can tell just how many seasonal vegetables we've packed into our Summer Vegetable soup? A: As many as we could think of. Then we added a dollop of cream, some fragrant mint and lemon thyme. Winter now seems so far away.

  • Smoked Haddock Chowder

    Warming and substantial - we packed this big-hearted chowder with flaked smoked haddock, chunks of potato and carrot, and a lively finish of cayenne pepper.

  • Soup of the Month (NEW!)
  • Salmon & Watercress

    We're proud of this flavourful bowl of luxury. Meaty flakes of salmon and bulging handfuls of vivid, dark green watercress stirred into rich creamy potato. A real treat to be had.

  • Spicy Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato

    Our smooth blend of squash, sweet potato and mascarpone cheese, with flecks of red chilli. The warmth from garam masala and cumin lend their Indian influences to this warming soup.

  • Spinach & Nutmeg

    To bring out the smooth and velvety green luxury of spinach leaves and softened onions, we added single cream, zesty lemon juice and a generous pinch of nutmeg.

  • Sweet Potato & Corn Chowder

    This hearty chowder combines the vibrant, cheeful colours of orangy sweet potato, golden sweetcorn and ruby red peppers. Swirled into creamy potato, it's a robust bowl of nourishment.

  • Thai Chicken

    Hot, Asian and inescapably moreish - this blend of creamy coconut, zesty lime and chunky chicken pieces comes with a rush of jalapeno peppers and pureed ginger.

  • Three Bean & Red Lenti

    Thick, smoky and satisfying - a glorious feast of cannellini beans, red kidney beans and black-eyed beans with red split lentils, oak-smoked garlic and sun-dried tomatoes.

  • Tomato & Chunky Veg

    A hearty soup if ever we've made one. Crammed full of sweet juicy tomatoes, and bulging with an endless list of vegetables - 8 of them... go on count them.

  • Toulouse Sausage & Puy Lentil

    A thick, cheerful and chunky Gallic soup of herb, garlic and spice-filled Toulouse pork sausages with delicate Puy lentils, juicy tomatoes and flageolet beans.
