Spice Pots Work Lunches

During the colder months, its good to have something hot to eat for lunch to keep you warm and full. Being organised and packing a healthy lunch not only prevents last minute spending but keeps it healthy too!   The combination of a warming soup and a hearty salad ticks all the boxes for a healthy work lunch.

All these recipes are simple and delicious.  Why not play around with our blends to see which is your favourite combination of spices? A food flask will keep these warm until lunchtime.

Roast Vegetable Soup, Lightly Spiced

This is a very simple way to make soup - put all of the vegetables, including onions into the oven.  Roast for around 30 mins then simply transfer to a pan, add stock and whizz up!  You can vary the vegetables according to what's in season and what you have in the fridge.

Sweet Potato and Pepper Soup

A hearty soup that keeps you filled up until dinner.  Delicious but subtle flavours, using either our Goan or Korma blends.

Korma Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup

The addition of coconut milk in this recipe gives it a lovely sweetness and creamy consistency.

Spice Pots Cullen Skink

The heartiest of all our soups, this is almost a meal in itself, especially when paired with a big chunk of bread (it's too good a combination to leave out, even if you are trying to avoid bread!)

Our salads are filling and can be eaten cold (or warm them through in the microwave if you like).  Use a tub or tiffin.

Spiced Roast Carrot, Lentil and Feta Salad

This is my favorite work salad.  I often add beetroot or substitute the carrots for parsnips.  As above, use pre-cooked lentils for a quicker recipe.

Spiced Potato Salad

Cheap and cheerful - add loads of fresh herbs.  

Tomato and Lentil Salad

I tend to make this on a Sunday so it's all ready for the week. When short on time, use pre-cooked lentils

Hopefully these recipes will keep you going until the warmer weather arrives.
