Whether you're in the currently frosty Northern Hemisphere, or the sunshine filled Southern Hemisphere, a delicious bowl of soup is always a comforting prospect. Here are five bowls of deliciousness to try this month...

1: Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Creamy, nourishing and heart-warming. Perfectly complemented with a fresh loaf of sourdough bread. Find the recipe here.

2: Pho with Mushrooms, Shiitake, Pak Choi, Chili Marinated Tofu and Soba noodles

Zesty, packed with fresh vegetables and full of flavour. Find the recipe here.

3: Oven Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Capsicum is one of those magical ingredients which completely and radically change their depth of flavour when roasted.  The richness of their flavour is fully exploited in this silky smooth soup. Find the recipe here.

4: Asparagus, Fennel & Spinach Soup

Ah, the freshness & aniseed tang of fennel: one of our favourites. Find the recipe here.

5: African Peanut Lentil Soup

The rich creaminess of peanuts is something we love in peanut butter, satay sauce and sweet slices. Here it adds another dimension to a red lentil soup. Find the recipe here.
