There’s nothing like a warming bowl of soup during the colder months to warm you from the inside out. Celeriac, often overlooked, is a winter gem that’s rich in fibre and vitamin C. This velvety soup pairs the nutty flavour of celeriac with a crunchy hazelnut crumble topping, adding texture and depth. Perfect as a light lunch or an elegant starter, this soup is both comforting and nutritious. Serve with crusty wholemeal bread for added fibre.
Hungry for more? We’ve got plenty more celeriac soup recipes where this came from.
2. One-pan smoky veggie lentil lasagne
This nourishing and comforting recipe from NHS doctor Dr Chintal Patel packs in plenty of plants with a veggie bolognese base made from dried red lentils, chestnut mushrooms and courgettes. Mushrooms are a great addition to winter diets as they contain vitamin D – something most of us will be deficient in during the shorter, darker days, while red lentils are full of fibre, iron, B vitamins, magnesium and zinc. Even better, it’s all made in one dish so it’s nowhere near as much faff as a normal lasagne.

3. Peanut chickpea rice bowl
Combine peanuts and chickpeas to make this sustaining rice bowl packed with texture and flavour. Chickpeas are a great source of fibre and protein, while peanuts provide protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Brown rice, shredded carrot, cabbage and cucumber make this a really nourishing dinner to feed the family.

4. Roast squash & hummus winter salad
Who says salads are just for summer? This vibrant winter salad combines roasted butternut squash, sweet potatoes and peppers with a creamy homemade butter bean hummus. Topped with toasted seeds for crunch, this dish is packed with fibre, vitamins and plant-based protein. It’s a versatile recipe that can be served as a main or a side dish.

5. Dhal with cumin-roasted cauliflower
A cosy bowl of dhal can be just the trick during the winter months. Packed with warming whole spices and rich flavour, you’d never know it’s low in calories. The red lentils help you feel fuller for long, while cauliflower is rich in vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, folate and vitamin K. In this recipe we’re even using the cauliflower leaves to pack in extra nutrients and reduce food waste – double win.
