MOROCCAN LENTIL SOUP!
We are talking tomatoes, earthy lentils, loads of fragrant Moroccan spices - all blended into one silky, creamy soup. … can we talk about that yogurt swirl with the warm spices, the fresh cilantro and the little chili to finish 👌
Get dippin’

being a little heavy-handed with the toppings never hurt anyone - especially when dukkah is involved!
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER & BROCCOLI
cauliflower + broccoli roasted until golden and nutty, then blended until silky. Finished with salty crumbled feta, a generous swoosh of tahini + a rather enthusiastic scattering of crunchy, warm-spiced dukkah
a little bit of everything in every spoonful!

ROASTED PEPPER + TOMATO SOUP with cashew basil cream
obviously we weren’t stopping at plain tomato soup!
so … we roasted some peppers, brought in the tomatoes, blended everything until ridiculously smooth + creamy, then swirled in a vegan cashew basil cream - THAT is where things get very good 😋
get dipping!

sharp • creamy • peppery … exactly as it should be 😋
BROCCOLI BLUE CHEESE SOUP — because sometimes you just need to put two very good things together and leave them alone.
silky broccoli • plenty of blue cheese melted in • more crumbled on-top + a ridiculous amount of cracked black pepper
this one is GOOD!

if lentil soup isn’t your favourite, it will be now!
silky, creamy LEMON LENTIL SOUP with loads of fresh herbs, finished with a pistachio + dried apricot gremolata that brings the salty-sweet crunch and makes every spoonful … oh So good! 🍋 🌿

POTATO PARSNIP SOUP - simple, creamy, and seriously good!
creamy potato + sweet parsnip blended until super silky, then finished with a generous drizzle of herb oil, parmesan petals + cracked black pepper

Coming in hot …
HARISSA ROASTED CARROT SOUP — silky, a little smoky, a little spicy, topped with crispy golden halloumi croutons, a yogurt swirl + fresh herbs
The halloumi croutons might be the best part 😋
On now while it lasts!

We made this curried lentil soup and then apparently couldn’t leave it alone 🥴
Crispy pani puri stuffed with roasted chickpeas + roasted lentils + cilantro, finished with tamarind and a cool yogurt swirl!
A little crunchy, a little tangy, a little messy … very into it!

Still technically summer, but apparently we have all collectively decided it’s soup season!
And obviously we are starting with the heavy hitter —
PEANUT SWEET POTATO SOUP - Creamy • peanutty • a little spicy • topped with a raw coconut • peanut • cilantro • thai chili gremolata & a coconut swirl
She’s back. And yes, she’s still the favourite
