Summer Pea, Kale and Feta Soup

When it comes to boosting your iron intake in a delicious, easy way, this soup ticks all the boxes. Packed with nutrient-rich kale and peas, and finished with salty crumbled feta, it’s vibrant both in colour and in flavour.

The Morphy Richards Clarity Soup Maker simplifies the process—just prep the ingredients, add them to the machine, and press the smooth setting. That’s it! This is a fantastic lunch or light dinner option, especially if you’re trying to include more leafy greens in your meals without losing the joy of good food.

The fresh mint lifts the flavour, while the feta adds richness and contrast. A scattering of nigella seeds and a drizzle of olive oil bring everything together with a lovely final flourish.
