Ingredients
1 medium Aubergine, sliced
5 spray(s) Cooking Spray, Calorie Controlled
1 large Onion, All Types, chopped
3 clove(s) Garlic, crushed
175 g Mushrooms, chopped
1 cube(s) Stock Cube, Vegetable, vegetable, make up with hot water 1.2 litres (2 pints) - use 2 stock cubes if desired
1 tablespoons Coriander, Fresh, chopped
1/2 teaspoons Coriander, Dried
1/2 teaspoons Cumin, Ground
100 g Cheese, Soft, Medium Fat
1 pinch Salt
1/8 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a chargrill pan or the put the grill on high. Spray the aubergine slices with low fat cooking spray. Chargrill or grill them until lightly browned. Chop roughly.
Mist a large saucepan with low fat cooking spray, then cook the aubergine over a low heat with the onion, garlic and mushrooms until softened - about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock, chopped fresh coriander, ground coriander and cumin. Partially cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add half of the low fat soft cheese to the mixture, then puree the soup with a hand blender or in a food processor until smooth. Season to taste and reheat. Serve, garnished with the remaining soft cheese and some ground pepper.
Cook's Tip: For vegans, omit the low fat soft cheese.
OK so my grill didn't work....and I haven't a blender.... and I forgot the cheese....
oooh errrr. Will have to give it a go if it got the thumbs up.
I've been boiling a butternut squash all evening to make soup for lunch tomorrow and can't find the flipping blender jug anywhere.
Butternut squash casserole it is.
