What does this mean?

I made up a gorgeous veggie soup the other day because my sister was sick. It is a really nice alternative to a stew or a thick soup it feel nourishing and you don't really need any bread. Great for sick kids, my sister is feeling much better now.

Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 4 carrots
  • ½ sweet potato (golden)
  • ½ large kabocha pumpkin
  • 1 leek
  • 4 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • extra virgin olive oil (a glug, roughly around 6 tabs)
  • 5 leaves fresh sage (if you have some around)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (leaves)
  • 1 litre vegetable stock

Method

  1. Chop all the veg fine/chunky "in walnut shapes?". You don't want it too chunky other wise it takes too long to cook and the colour and nutrients fades.
  2. Cook with the orange juice, evoo, butter, thyme, sage and season with s&p, cook until tender but not totally cooked.
  3. Then add hot stock and cook until soft. You can have it as is, or blend it until smooth (this is a good tip for kids as they are more likely to eat it if it doesn't have "chunky bits".)
  4. Serve warm with or without bread.
