Janet Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Courgette (Zucchini) Soup Ingredients 3 large courgettes (zucchinis), sliced 1 onion, skinned and diced 1 small potato, peeled and chopped into small bits ½ pint vegetable or chicken stock ½ pint milk Salt and pepper, to taste Method In a large saucepan, fry the chopped onion in frylight, or a little butter for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the courgette and potatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes, stiring occasionally. Add the stock mixture and the milk and bring to the boil. Then turn down heat, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, and then liquidize. Season to taste... and enjoy! Quote
Pennan Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I just love parnsip soup! Just fry some onions and garli first and add cut up parnips (until soft), stock and season, then blend.... yummy. Quote

Polka Dot Rock Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I made a soup last night, it's a really easy one to throw together and very warming. Good for veggies, too. Here's it is: Spicy Bean & Tomato Soup Serves: Two hungry people Tablespoon of Olive Oil 400g can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained (or any pulse: last night, I used a mix of kidney and cannellini beans. Haricot beans would be great too) 400g tinned Chopped Tomatoes 1 medium/large onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves (or a generous sprinkle of dried chopped garlic, if you're me!) Half-a-pint of Vegetable (or Chicken) Stock Teaspoon each of the following dried spices: cumin*, coriander*, paprika*, tumeric* Pinch of cayenne pepper* 2 heaped teaspoons of tomato puree (not essential) Salt and pepper to season * If you don't have all these, don't worry. Improvisation is the key to everything I cook! Method * Fry onions and garlic until soft. * Add all other ingredients * Bring to boil * Cover and simmer for 20 mins * Et voila! Serve with some lovely chunks of bread (garlic bread is especially good with this soup) Quote

Why don't you experiment with my soup that I posted previously? Chop some jalapenos and/or chillis then fry them with the onions and garlic, and add some extra cannenne pepper or chilli powder Quote
