If you have lots of zucchini (courgette or squash), this is a quick recipe to turn them into a lovely light soup. The trick is to cook both the zucchini and the leeks long enough so they're nice and soft before you puree.

This is a smooth filling soup which nourishes the stomach and the soul. It still tastes wonderful even if you decide not to add the chicken pieces.

One of those old-fashioned clear soups with lots of veggies for you can fill up and eat lean while enjoying a hearty warm bowl of hot soup.  This one is high in fibre (good news for your bowels) with no added salt so kind to the kidneys as well. What a bonus!

The combination of spinach, mushrooms and tofu gives a strong rich flavour to what is basically a low-fat soup.

This is an interesting clear soup which can be made hotter and spicier with the addition of chilli or can be a vegetarian dish if you omit the chicken.

Normally I'm a big fan of fresh spinach (I even grow it myself) but this easy soup is a great stand-by if you can't get the fresh version or you've got to get 'something' cooked and on the table in under 15 minutes - no mean feat by anyone's standards. It uses frozen spinach which is one of the more nutritious frozen vegetables and a handy thing to keep in your freezer.

This recipe is handy stand-by for those times when you're tired and want something warm and comforting to eat. It's based on a can of creamed corn and a can of crab meat. Easy!

This is a quick way to add a little zing to any fish fillet. If you haven't fresh rosemary, you can use the dried version, but add it later with the lemon juice and wine.

Tuna teams nicely with tomatoes, eggplant, capsicum and olive oil - all key ingredients of the heart-winning Mediterranean Diet.

Sardines are an oily fish which is high in omega-3s. Easy and convenient in cans, most people just put them on toast. This is a tangy recipe that uses them in a different way.
