HOW TO CREATE
EDIBLE ART…
USING SOUP
The humble soup is often relegated to the bottom of the restaurant
specials board, but not with these soup styling tips from Megan May.
Highly nutritious and super simple to make, soups are
experiencing a renaissance in the culinary and health worlds.
Just as smoothies were reincarnated a few years ago as ‘smoothie
bowls’, soups are becoming canvasses for creative cooks.
The Soup Art concept is simple; to create nutritious and delicious
soups that are beautifully garnished and to elevate the soup from
the homely to the exquisite.
Megan May of Little Bird Organics shares her top tips to creating
beautiful Soup Art with ease.
Soup Art Lesson #1
THE RIGHT WEIGHT
“This Almond and Leek Soup is perfect when topped with smoked
almonds and micro greens.
A garnish that is lighter than your soup will ensure it doesn’t sink.”

CREATE PLAYFUL PATTERNS
“Carrot, Ginger & Tofu is an incredible combination in a soup (the tofu
makes it silky!)
Drop in sour cream, swirl with a chopstick to create hearts. Add harissa
spiced chickpeas and edible flowers for colour and texture.”

USE CONTROL
“Think like an Italian; the only thing this Tuscan Tomato and White Bean
Soup needs for taste is an olive oil drizzle, using your thumb to control the
flow.
Add garlic and rosemary croutons and a rosemary flower for texture.”
