A quick rummage around in the fridge yesterday produced some veg that needed using up. Too much to throw away, but too little to make a meal, I decided to make soup. The finished result was tasty, cheap and nutritious, and I think i’m finally getting the hang of the soup maker!
I used:
2 carrots, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 small courgette, diced
5 cabbage leaves picked straight from the garden and chopped finely
a handful of brussels that had grown loose – finely chopped
1 can of chopped tomatoes
1 vegetable stock cube
approx 10 sticks of spaghetti, broken into pieces
I fried the onion in the bottom of the soup maker, then added all the rest of the veg, stock cube and bits of spaghetti. I then filled the jug up to 1400ml, and let it work its magic. (Brought to the boil, then simmered for about 20 mins).
End product… delish!
That sounds great. I’m really interested in this soup maker.
It’s great. Quite expensive at about £100, but I’ll be able to make soup from all the veg that’s not quite good enough for the table. I did some on Christmas day with the stock that the gammon had boiled in. It makes it easier to use everything up and not waste anything.
