SouperChef Specials

Konnyaku Jaga Wasabi Stew Meat-Free | Contains Dairy | Contains Egg | Contains Gluten According to my Japanese friends, there is a category of cooking known as ofukuro no aji (mother’s flavour) — it’s something simple, homely and evokes strong feelings of nostalgia. Nikujaga or stewed potatoes with meat is one such mainstay. Traditionally, this […]

Italian-Style Cacciatore Meat-Free | Gluten-Free | Contains Dairy | Contains Egg | Non-Spicy Pollo alla cacciatore is a traditional Italian hunter-style stew. This was inspired by my trip to Italy in 2012, travelling through the rolling hills of Tuscany. The hunters of Southern Italy would eat this at the end of a long, bitterly cold […]

SouperChef Anna’s Message | Souper Quornscious   Do you know: By 2050, consumption of meat is expected to have risen 76 per cent against a 2005–07 baseline, compared with 40 per cent for cereals? Greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock sector are estimated to account for 14.5% of the global total, more than direct emissions from […]

Budae Jjigae (Korean-Style Army Stew) Meat-Free | Dairy-Free | Contains Egg | Contains Gluten | Slightly Spicy   Budae Jjigae literally means “army stew”, a dish born out of necessity in war-weary Korea after World War II, when food was in shortage and the only accessible items were surplus food from U.S. military bases. Assembled […]

Buttery Tikka Masala Meat-free | Gluten-Free | Contains Dairy | Contains Egg    We were on the road a lot in New Zealand and one of the perks was stopping by the many convenient stores and petrol stations to check out what they offer! I realised that pies are a staple for the Kiwis! Almost […]

Sumo-Style Nabe Meat-Free | Dairy-Free | Contains Egg | Contains Gluten |  This is certainly one of our most popular SouperChef Specials! We often get emails requesting for this to be on our permanent menu and it’s one of the first soups to get sold out in stores whenever it’s launched! Cooking this with soy […]

SouperChef Anna’s Message | Random Musings 2019 My staff were all a little baffled when I suggested the month’s theme to be “Random Musings”. “Eh, Anna”, they asked, “What do you mean by random? Anything goes? No specific marketing angle or soups you want to promote?” Yes, anything goes indeed. And here’s why.   Ever […]

Vegan Jambalaya (Vegan | Dairy-Free | Gluten-Free | Slightly Spicy) “Jambalaya, crawfish pie and fillet gumbo, for tonight, I’m-a gonna see my ma cher a mi-o…” Now, if you find yourself singing to the lyrics of this song Jambalaya (On the Bayou), I know we can be good pals! The famed Creole and Cajun dish […]

Grilled Corn Chowder Champon Style (Vegetarian | Contains Dairy | Contains Gluten) We arrived in Kyushu on a cool rainy day despite it being midsummer and the first meal we had was Nagasaki-style Champon ramen. It was especially comforting and reminded me very much of home as it almost felt like Chinese cuisine.  Champon is a […]

SouperChef Anna’s Message | Souperfoods 2019 I get asked this a lot — What is “superfood”? This nutritional buzzword gets thrown around a lot in the food scene and almost everything is labelled a “superfood” these days. At best, it’s a nutrient powerhouse. At worst, the labelling is superfluous, overhyped by marketing ingenuity. In fact, […]

SouperChef Special | Chicken Broccoli Red Rice Stew (Chicken | Dairy-Free | Gluten-Free) This SouperChef Special is a sweet reminder that even the simplest of homecooked meals can be a souperstar in its own right. I cooked this a lot during my university days — stir-fried broccoli with chicken, mushrooms and tomatoes served over rice. It […]
