Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity, has launched The Big Broth, a competition challenging the nation to come up with a new tasty soup flavour. The winning soup will be produced by Yorkshire Provender and sold in Waitrose stores across a UK, with a donation from each pot sold going straight to Centrepoint.
Prue Leith’s Instant Green Soup
Budding cooks will be encouraged to submit their recipes online and five lucky finalists will be invited to a special cook-off event. The winner will be chosen by a panel of judges and celebrity chefs, including award-winning Italian chef Aldo Zilli, founder of the Wahaca group of Mexican restaurants Thomasina Miers and editor of Waitrose Kitchen magazine, William Sitwell.
