| Soupersoup |
My basic soup recipe for
the children uses the same ingredients: onions,
garlic, vegetables, potatoes to thicken. I
then build up the soup flavour by, say, taking
a tomato and deciding what I like with that:
basil, parmesan, pasta, chilli?
Try making your own. Start with one ingredient
and than think of all the things in the
world you would like to eat with it or that
goes with it and start building the soup.
Use lots of pulses and vegetables. I liquidise
the soup so there is no need for finely
chopping or dicing vegetables for ages,
just roughly cut up. I leave the skins on
the potatoes for extra roughage. If you
are using fish there is no need to cook
it separately, pop it in the hot liquid,
leave for 5 minutes or so and it will be
cooked. |
