Soups like this are good for the soul, full of tex Soups like this are good for the soul, full of texture, sweet from the roots, deeply savoury and packed with goodness. @gill.meller finishes his streaming bowl of three root, bacon and barley soup with a freshly poached egg, which takes it to the next level. Best served with some good crusty bread or some slices of toast.

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium leek, washed and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 - 4 sprigs of thyme leaves stripped
200g leftover ham, roughly chopped
50g of pearl barley rinsed
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
A large chunk of swede peeled and finely
2 medium potatoes, peeled and finely chopped
1.5 litre light vegetable, chicken or ham stock
A small bunch of curly kale, leaves stripped and ribboned
Salt and freshly white or black pepper
3–4 very fresh Stonegate Estate eggs
2 teaspoons vinegar

Warm the olive oil in a medium pan over a gentle heat. Add the onions, sliced leeks and garlic. Scatter in the thyme leaves, season well with salt and white or black pepper and cook until soft and fragrant.

Now add the chopped ham and barley followed by the diced carrots, swede and potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes stirring regularly.

Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the kale and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Bring another pan of water to the boil, add the vinegar and swirl the water gently. Crack in the eggs and lower the heat. Poach for 2 minutes, then lift out and drain on kitchen paper.

Ladle the soup into bowls, top with a poached egg and finish with chopped parsley or coriander and a drizzle of olive oil.
@gill.meller’s winter squash and butter beans reci @gill.meller’s winter squash and butter beans recipe is January cooking at its most generous. Sweet roasted squash and soft butter beans are brought together with sage and capers, their savoury sharpness cutting through the richness. A handful of kale, crisped until dark and brittle, adds texture, while a fried Stonegate Organic egg on top turns it into a meal that feels complete.

It’s a dish that suits any moment of the day. Hearty enough for brunch, simple enough for lunch, and deeply comforting come evening. Cook the vegetables ahead if you like, then fry the eggs when you’re ready to eat. We love it piled onto toast, though it’s just as good eaten as it is.

To make this recipe, you’ll need:

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
A colander of washed curly kale leaves, stripped off the stalk
1 medium onion, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
350g squash, peeled and cut into 1-2cm cubes
1 good pinch of chilli flakes
500ml vegetable stock
1 large jar cooked butter beans about 400-500g
1 tablespoon small capers
A small handful of sage leaves
4 slices of good country bread or sourdough for toasting
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the eggs:

4 Stonegate Estate Organic eggs
½ tablespoon olive oil
A big knob of butter
A small handful of sage leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
