2 for 1 Veggie Soup


With a winter detox on the cards next week for the Yummy Mummies and I, I thought I would give you this great soup recipe, where virtually any veggie goes.
Its easy to make a big batch and have it to hand whenever the munchies strike or you need a hug in a mug!

I don't really think to much about what i put in this soup, its usually whats in the fridge, or whats on 2 for 1 offer in the supermarket!



But it goes something a bit like this.......

1 large Onion
3 Carrots
1 head broccoli
3 sticks celery
1 courgette
1 clove garlic - keep the vampires away!
4 fresh tomatoes - skins removed (or a tin of chopped)
1 large dollop of green pesto
1 spoon of mixed herbs
Salt & pepper
Pint of water

then whatever else is about

put it all in a pan and boil - it smells delicious when its cooking
then blend to desired consistency

If I want to make it more hearty then I add some red lentils and have for lunch, the kids really like it too so its a great way of getting the veggies in them!
