Chicken Orzo Soup
A warming soup for the colder months.
My mission has always been to keep the nation active and give people confidence to cook food that makes them feel good.
I’m a big believer in family dinners, but with four kids – especially since our baby, Dusty, arrived – finding time to cook every night can be a challenge. I like to batch cook family favourites like chilli, Bolognese, and veggie curries. It’s a game-changer for busy week nights.
To kick off the new school term in style, I’ve partnered with Asda to create some banging recipes for School Night Winner Dinners. This epic new series ticks all the boxes, offering midweek meals that are tasty, affordable, and perfect for kids.
From all-in-one fishcake pie to comforting sausage stew, our recipe collection focuses on quick and healthy family food to keep you covered on busy weeknights. My kids can’t get enough of the chicken fajita pitta pockets, and I'm a huge fan of doubling up on the mozzarella and broccoli pasta bake for easy leftovers ready for another day.
Asda shares my vision of helping families put healthier meals on the table. Even one nutritious dinner a week can make a big difference. We’ve also got your back when it comes to budget and have packed these meals with goodness to help you on your way to getting your 5-a-day.
Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a perfectionist. You don’t have to make everything from scratch or completely avoid processed foods every night, but you can still pack flavour into your family meals. Adding a little bit of pesto, harissa, or curry paste into the pot can introduce kids to delicious flavours early.
These back-to-school recipes are great for involving kids in the kitchen too. My 6-year-old, Indie, is already a little chef-in-the-making just by being there with me and learning as we cook.
