The final recipe for soup week is my healthyish take on Broccoli Cheddar Soup.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It comes together in one pot with simple ingredients but I've lightened it up so you can feel good about enjoying this! But it still has the delicious cheesy flavour and creamy texture you love.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Find the recipe linked in my bio and thanks for following along for Soup Week friends!⁠⁠

Is there anything better than classic Tomato Soup?

Is there anything better than classic Tomato Soup?! There definitely isn’t in my books. ⁠
⁠
Roasting the tomatoes with the garlic and onions adds a beautiful flavour to the soup. ⁠
⁠
And, with the addition of the cannellini beans, you get a beautiful creamy soup, one that is dairy-free too!⁠
⁠
Pair this with a grilled cheese and YOU ARE SET⁠

This weekend we’re celebrating Thanksgiving with this bright & fresh LEMON & THYME ROASTED TURKEY! Using fresh thyme plus lemon zest, butter & a few other ingredients the lemon & thyme butter packs serious flavour.

RECIPE
Ingredients
•Turkey:
1 whole fresh turkey, 12-14lbs
1 cup turkey or vegetable broth
1x yellow onion, cut into 8 pieces
2x celery stalks, chopped into 8 pieces
2x carrots, chopped into 8 pieces
½ lemon, cut into 4 pieces
Handful of fresh thyme & parsley
•Lemon & Thyme Butter:
1 cup softened unsalted butter
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground pepper
2 tbsp minced shallot
Zest from 1 lemon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3.To the roasting pan, add broth, 4 pieces of onion, celery pieces, chopped carrots & 2 pieces of lemon.
