A bowl of soup is surely one of the most comforting foods imaginable. How about an earthy and filling yellow split pea soup? And who can resist a velvety leek and potato soup? Look through your kitchen cupboards or see what’s available at the farmer’s market to turn into a soup worthy of ladling into some Autumn Flowers Soup Plates.

Even though we’ve labelled this as a soup plate, it’s a bowl – with a floral edge wreathed in some of autumn’s best blooms – that doubles up as a pasta bowl and triples up as a rimmed plate for risotto.
