Smoky autumnal evenings are great with a smoky soup. This is so nourishing, warm and flavoursome. Our soup is also creamy and herby, all you need in one hot bowl. Add crunchy croutons or custy bread and you'll be totally fulfilled.

  • Smoked Basa fillets
  • 2 yellow bell peppers seeded, cored and chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped into cubes

  • 140 grams cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Core, seed and roughly dice the bell peppers. Dice the onions and mince the garlic.

  • Pour in the stock and add the salt, pepper, thyme and tumeric. Place the fish fillets on top
  • Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Leave to simmer until the vegetables are soft.
