I have a thing for soups, always have. My mum knows it is the food to make me when I am feeling a little down. It is comforting and full of nutrients and you can make magic with it: get your leftovers, add a little stock, some butter and blend. Or don’t blend and get a chunky one instead. So it won’t surprise you that when I found myself with very little in my cupboard and a hungry boyfriend to feed I turned to soup. It is a super cheap dinner to make with only 4 ingredients: potatoes, beans, chorizo and onions.

Hot food adds heat to your body increasing the rate at which you sweat consequently helping you to cool off. This is not me, this is science telling you to  make soup this summer.  Chorizo and bean soup (serves 3 large bowls) 2 large potatoes, chopped into small cubes 150g chorizo, cubed 400g tin of
