. EXPERIMENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE All your jars of sauces, relishes and preserves are flavour bombs that can be added to anything, even soup. A tablespoon or two of basil pesto will elevate your chicken noodle soup to new heights, while some finely chopped candied ginger will cut through any overpowering flavours in an Asian broth. And if you have a cream-based soup that seems too rich and heavy, you’d be surprised at how quickly a few teaspoons of wholegrain mustard can solve the problem.

ADD FISH AFTER THE SOUP IS COOKED Fish and shellfish are quite delicate. It’s so easy to overcook it, dry it out and end up with that unpleasant rubbery texture. Once your soup is cooked, bring the heat down to a gentle simmer and add your seafood. It will cook gently in the simmering soup and all those flavours will come together beautifully without being too overwhelming, as often happens when fish or seafood is cooked with the soup for the entire cooking time. .

 last bite

ComfortZONE The MK team share their favourite comfort foods

Sitting around the table with my family eating my dad’s slow-cooked bolognese with his homemade fresh egg pasta, topped with a mountain of Parmesan. - Chiara, food editor

Homemade pork chow mein or Ghanaian jollof rice with BBQ wings. - Alizwa, designer

Hands down mac ’n’ cheese – nothing can beat it. I make it the way my mom used to: with tomato slices in the middle, a set egg custard and crispy cheese on top. Yum! - Kate, food stylist

A chocolate bar dipped in a hot cappuccino with each bite. It’s the best. - Morné, retouching artist

There’s no limit to the amount of soup I can eat, no matter what season it is. I enjoy it piping hot with toast spread with an obnoxious amount of butter. - Roxy, editor

I really love noodles: from rice noodles in a fresh pad thai (with extra roasted peanuts sprinkled on top), to udon noodles in a veggie hot pot with shiitake mushrooms. - Andrea, art director PHOTOGRAPHY: FREEPIK, GALLOGETTYIMAGES
