Last Thursday I was lucky enough to be cooked a delicious GAPS friendly meal by my friend Rebecca. She did a slow cooked beef roast with steamed veggies (cauliflower, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans) and roasted baby dutch carrots and butternut pumpkin. It was so special to be able to go somewhere for dinner and not have to take my own food. Thanks girl, I really appreciate it.

I Finally Made My Own Sauerkraut!
I’ve finally mustered up the confidence to make my own sauerkraut! I’ve heard scary things about fermenting your own cabbage – mainly that it can go very, very wrong and go off and smell all kinds of awful (like after your dad’s been to the bathroom – yep that kind of awful). But I figured if I can ferment my own cream then I can surely ferment some cabbage and I’ll never know until I try, right?
Thai green chicken soup
This soup is seriously good and a nice break from the regular appearances of pumpkin and cauliflower soup that tend to share the starring role in my kitchen. My mum (a non GAPS taste-tester I might add) had several soup-gasms whilst devouring this creamy bowl of yumminess.
Microwave-free Chocolate Mug Cake
This cake was a result of being in year 12, studying hard and getting to the end of the day and needing a big bowl of chocolate cake all to myself that I could chip away at whilst indulgently watching a few episodes 7th Heaven. Don’t even judge me!
“Buck-weet-bix”
In middle school I was an absolute sucker for crushed weet-bix, hot milk and a sprinkle of brown sugar – especially on cold mornings.
I avoided weet-bix like the plague throughout primary school, knowing that all cereals (bar baby rice cereal … which I happily enjoyed until the age of 7 when Mamma T decided I was too old for “baby food”) made me feel nutritionally violated. Somehow in middle school, I temporarily lost this intuition and became seduced by the aforementioned warming, sweet and creamy wheat-based combo.
Real Soup for Names Sake
Oh hello there. You’ve found some very old content. Please read the disclaimer on this page before thinking I’m still a total sheep who has been sucked into a bone-broth worshipping fad diet. Been there, learned from that and am now a much less rigid human.
I received feedback the other day from a reader saying that she got excited when she discovered this blog; assuming it was a website dedicated entirely to soup! She was disappointed when she realised that soup, -although having a starring role on this site – is not my sole focus. After all, a blog dedicated entirely to soup sounds like a pretty good idea to me. Maybe I should have thought of that.
I know I manage to weave bone broth and blended vegetable soups into nearly every post, making the name ‘real soup for the real soul’ deliciously appropriate, but it’s usually in relation to a bigger topic such as last-minute meal ideas or GAPS.
Today I’m honouring the name sake of this site with a post dedicated to the ultimate soul food; real soup!
The Creamy Green One
This is a spin off of my cauliflower soup recipe, omitting the fluffy white cauliflower florets for their humble cousin, the vibrantly green broccoli.
It’s a great way to get your greens in when it’s cold and your favorite salads and green smoothie recipes (despite their deliciousness) sound unappealingly chilly.
Enter Shrek soup (or if you don’t have kids; creamy broccoli soup)
The Most Amazing Pumpkin Soup in the World
This recipe is so easy it hardly deserves to be called a recipe.
For lack of better word however, I am still calling it a recipe.
There are zillions of pumpkin soup recipes out there calling for a whole host of different ingredients; coconut cream, garlic, ginger, almond milk, herbs and spices.
Quite frankly, I find all you need is a rich broth and some fresh butternut. The result is sweet, creamy and soul-warming.
I Can’t Believe it’s Not Double Cream (!) Creamy Cauliflower Soup
