Summary: This basic 4 ingredients soup recipe really is the easiest soup in the history of soups.
All you have to do is literally put the 4 ingredients in a pan, add enough water to cover generously, add some herbs and freshly ground black pepper if you wish, and cook until soft.
This soup is vegan, grain-free, gluten-free, oil-free, salt-free, nut-free. The magic of this soup is that you can substitute the potatoes or the carrots for what ever vegetables are in season, or more accurately, what ever you have in your fridge.

Summary: Fruit salad with cheese is one of my personal favourite combinations. It might sound unusual, but give it a try, and you will be surprised at how well it works. I love my fruit salads with cheese at any time of the day, from breakfast to a light lunch to a refreshing Summer starter to a post-workout snack to even dessert. A sure winner with children too. Again, putting pepper on fruits might sound odd, but the pepper really brings out the sweetness of the fruits and wonderfully rounds off the different flavours.
This one is a summer incarnation, when stone fruits are plentiful. Use any combination of plums, apricots, nectarines, peaches and cherries. I used the juice of half a blood orange to marinate the fruits in because I had one (the last of the season), but regular orange is great too. Thyme just goes really well with goats cheese, but basil works great too.
The key is to use perfectly ripe fruits, as they will be deliciously sweet ; halving and pitting the cherries takes a bit of time, but it is well worth the effort, believe me ! Leave a few cherries whole for decoration.
For a Vegan and Paleo version, replace the goat cheese with soaked almonds.

Summary: Next time you wonder what to do with salsify, try this asparagus and salsify soup for an elegant starter. Salsify is also known as the plant oyster, and is said to have a delicate flavour similar to that of oysters. This soup would make a lovely starter for Easter lunch.
