This is one of my favourite weeknight dinners because it comes together in just over an hour and feels genuinely nourishing. The silky pea and broccoli soup pairs beautifully with warm, herb flecked scones that you can have baking while the soup simmers away. Broccoli is packed with vitamin C and fibre, so you're getting real goodness in every bowl. What I love most is how simple it all is, with minimal ingredients and straightforward steps, making it perfect when you want something wholesome without spending ages in the kitchen.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. For the scones, put the flour, salt and mustard powder in a mixing bowl. Add the Flora product and work into a crumb consistency with your fingers. Stir in the chives, make a well in the centre and add the almond drink.

Use a knife to roughly bring together the dough. Knead briefly and lightly, then pat out on a surface to about 2cm thick. Cut out rounds using a 6cm cutter (make 8, re-rolling any extra dough). Put on a lightly floured baking tray. Brush the tops with a little almond drink; bake for 18-20 minutes until golden on top. Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, for the soup, heat the Flora in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 2-3 minutes until soft, then add the garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes more. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the stock and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add the peas and almond drink, return to the boil and cook for a final 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is soft. Set aside off the heat.

Add the lemon juice, season and blend. Scatter with more chopped chives and serve with the scones spread with extra Flora.

The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
