Simple de soup

[Picaso]

just sipped down a ginourmous bowl of greatness that I made from scratch.

A little water, oil, and chicken stock was the foundation. I then tossed in some naked potatoes, some carrots that lost limbs by the second, some parsnips, and some barley which acted as the staple in this concoction.
I believe that "rooted" veggies give the soup the starchiness but also add the collective flavours required to bring on the warmth in the gut.

I boiled everything for about 2 hours consistently adding in various spices that controlled taste buds for the average tongue.

As far as cheap meals go, soup is by far the most cost effective! most recipes Ive tried have cost about $2 to make... and that serves 4 so its pretty cool.

Not only that, soup is quick and filling so i definatly think healthy soups are the way forward!

one of my favorite soup recipes is a Broccoli soup well actually a broccoli and cheese soup, its a good mix if flavour and texture.

i get most my recipes from www.healthysoup.net but there are plenty others out there!

enjoy. x

Here is a simple broccoli soup recipe (that's cheap and healthy!):

- head of broccoli
- boiled water
- salt (mostly to taste)
- blender
- goat cheese
- walnut/s
-----------------------------------
- Simply add broccoli to boiled water until soft and dark green with some salt
- Add broccoli to blend WITH its own water - important (fill blender ~ 3/4 high with the water)
- Blend until smooth and season a bit with salt
- Serve over a few slices of goat cheese and two walnut for looks

Beauty! Cheap! Healthy! Enjoy!

Walnuts are pretty expensive, aren't they?

That sounds tasty, Picaso. I don't usually have all those veggies on hand at once, and I'd probably have to substitute rice for the barley, but still a good winter soup.

That sounds really good!
