@carolrmc It was delicious, thanks! However I should have put half the amount of cream in.
Need to test oat-based (vegan) cream next time. 💭

Today I’m making a super basic Leak & Potato soup:

Don’t worry, not using all of these leaks. Just two. 😜
And considering adding spinach too for some extra nutrients. 💭

[nelsonic]

All coarsely chopped:

covered with just enough water:

Lid on:

Induction hob programmed with timer:

Now I can get back to work and will have soup for lunch. 🥣
Total time taken to peel and chop veg: 7mins.

Enjoy ‼️

Fully cooked going to hand blend now:

Done:

Always clean the hand mixer blade immediately under running water to ensure no food residue:

Leave to air dry in the rack:

Pack it away safely once dry.

Enjoy your soup!

@iteles the batch doesn’t have salt. So if you’re eating some, you may need to add.
I made it this way cause it taste fine to me and is child-friendly. 👌

@carolrmc wish we could share our soup with you. 💭 hope you get/feel well soon. 🤞🏼

For number 4, I would strongly recommend this recipe: https://www.sproutedkitchen.com/home/2012/1/25/black-bean-butternut-soup.html

We used to make it all the time 10 years ago ("chocolate soup") and then stopped and forgot about it!

[nelsonic]

@iteles great! will make that one next on Monday. ✅

Recipe:

• 1 Tbsp. coconut or extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 a small head of cabbage, chopped (heaping 2 cups)
• 3 cups cubed butternut squash (sweet potato would be good too)
• 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1/2 tsp. cocoa powder
• pinch of chipotle powder or cayenne pepper
• 2 cups cooked, black beans (about one can, rinsed and drained)
• salt to taste
• avocado, for garnish
• cilantro, for garnish

Bought the cabbage for this on our Aldi trip yesterday. 👌

[iteles]

@nelsonic i drained a whole bunch of water from the chuchu & courgette soup I made the other day which can be used as a vegetable broth for this.

[nelsonic]

Sounds good. Point me to it when you can. 👌

[iteles]

In the Samsung fridge in a labeled jar, top two shelves 😘

[nelsonic]

Thanks. Will use it when making soup tomorrow. 👍

Making chickpea and spinach soup using dried chickpeas today:

just going to leave the “base” and chickpeas slow cooking for the next couple of hours.
Then will add the fresh spinach at the end and blend. 👌
