RECIPE : Parsnip soup


I kinda stole this recipe from my Dad, well its an adapted version of a recipe he passed onto me after making it one time we went for dinner. Its very much a winter soup, very warming and with a generous chunk of crusty bread, comforting too :)

I've also made a few tweaks to make it even easier.....well what can I say I'm all for the easiness, that way there is no excuse for not eating fresh, healthy food.

You will need: 

25 gms of butter
1 onion finely chopped
1 large parsnip finely chopped
1 large carrot finely chopped
1 medium potato finely chopped
1 clove of garlic crushed
1 teaspoon curry paste
1 ltr of vegetable stock
1/2 cup of milk (of your choice)

Method:

Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 8-10mins
Add the parsnip, carrot and potato and stir
Once combined add the curry paste and mix through thoroughly
Add the stock and stir together
Add in the milk and stir again, cook for 20mins
Blitz in a processor (I used my nutribullet but you do have to wait for it to cool for about 30mins before doing so)
Add salt/pepper to taste and eat!!!!

Enjoy :)

p.s. If you dont have curry paste, which I didn't. Just add 2 teaspoons of the stock to 1 teaspoon of curry powder :)

Oh weekend where did you go?

One minute it was Friday and before you know it its Sunday and almost time to go back to the day job :( I felt rather exhausted this weekend, most likely the last few weeks catching up on me some and there wasn't much planned in for bagladee. I had a couple of visits from friends and managed to get 4 items under way for an up and coming order.

We had planned to get some practical things done, like go looking for a new washer and dryer, go to look at a car, tidy the garden, tidy the house. Well the last one got done but as for the others they will have to wait.

As I'm writing this post I am actually making some dinner and some soup for work tomorrow!! Yes shock horror I am attempting to make my own soup. A master with a sewing machine I am, one with the cooker I am not ;) its celery and onion and I found the recipe on the Internet. So far it smells good, that has to be a good sign right?

Must go and set the table.....I'll be back tomorrow with some photos of my sewing achievements this weekend. x
