Mango- and Ginger Soup from Masai Mara, Kenya

Mussels and Potato Soup
In Iceland lots of people pick fresh mussels from the coastline. There are several places you can do this and one very popular is in the South-western part of the island.
Chickpea Soup
I love Jamie Oliver's recipes and his whole philosophy on and approach to food, which is "use organic, local ingredients and avoid the junk". This is an adaptation of one of his recipes.
Autumn Soup with Sweet Potatoes and Apples
This must be the perfect autumn soup! It is warming, slightly sweet (not too much though), mild and packed with vitamin C. This soup is quite popular with kids and easy on the stomach.
Zanzibar Carrot and Coconut Soup
This soup reminds me a lot of a soup I had at the Archipelago restaurant, Zanzibar in September 2007.
Zanzibar Pumpkin and Coconut Soup
This recipe is from a book called Zanzibar Kitchen and is a favourite of mine.
A Simple Fish Soup
This soup is both very simple to make and cheap and perfect mid week, especially when you have a bit of cooked leftover fish in the fridge.
Egg-drop Soup with Sweetcorn
This is a very cheap, easy and simple soup to make and is light as well. I really like that combination! I often make this recipe mid week when time is limited.
Dhal (Lentil Soup) with Pumpkin and Coconut Milk
I actually had to bake this soup in an oven proof baking dishes since the gas on my stove finished, just in the middle of my cooking!
