| This hearty broth from Jenny Chandler makes a perfectly sumptuous, healthy and sustaining winter lunch, with the accompanying slaw zingy enough to enliven the gloomiest of winter days. |
It’s worth making a big batch of this broth to save energy, you can always freeze a portion before adding the greens and umami paste.
The slaw lifts the soup from the worthy to the wow; another option would be to serve it with some sauerkraut or other fermented veg’ to quite literally add some life into the mix.
As far as gut health goes you’re on to a winner: 15 different plant sources in one meal - you’re already half way to the magic goal of 30 plants a week. The umami paste contains live probiotic bacteria while the broth is loaded with fibre to keep your microbes happy.
Serves 8-10

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.

This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
