“This is a lovely light lunch option for readers who follow a meat-free lifestyle. I lean on tasty asparagus to bulk out the flavour and texture of the soup. Spinach also features, and not just for a boost of bright colour. If you aren’t vegan, opt for regular cream in place of the soya. – Monya
“I am clocking this beautiful egg drop soup for my next book, so remember that you saw it here first! It is so simple! Not only does it use only a handful of ingredients, but it delivers massive flavours! This is due to the addition of shiitake mushrooms (fresh, not dried please) which adds an important, distinct umami note. The partially cooked thin slices of ginger provide a little texture and hints of warm, “spiciness” which is equally special. While this keto meal is very low in fat, I think it could be perfect for those who are close to reaching their fat macros for the day, but still desire a full-flavoured, satisfying meal. And, I promise you – this one does just that! Enjoy!” – Monya
“A hearty bowl of soup can be enjoyed all year round, and this simple one is made using cauliflower, good-quality chicken stock and cheese. I go on to garnish it with crispy bacon, more cheese and parsley. Use the strongest Cheddar for maximum flavour punch.” – Monya
“I originally started the development of this keto chicken and chilli soup to be a chicken version of chili con carne. I thought it would be great served over Cauliflower Rice, Cauliflower Mash or even Konjac ‘rice’. However, midway through cooking, I stopped and realised that this would make a flavoursome soup! This lovely dish yields three servings, but if you choose to cook for more, use the plug-in on the recipe below and increase the yield amount.” – Monya
