Busy busy busy!!
From my days of slimming world this is a recipe I use to use, and now still make for the family!
6/8 carrots, small swede, (or buy a bag of ready diced carrots and swede either fresh or frozen)
large onion chopped
bag of cauliflower and broccoli florets
3 large potatoes chopped
tin of chopped tomatoes
tin of baked beans
herbs
couple of veg stock cubes
boil all of ingredients, in a large cauldron size saucepan, until veg well cooked. Liquidise and beautiful thick soup for all the family. Tastes even better the next day as flavours enhanced.
I use any veg I have in the kitchen or that are cheap at the supermarket. If you put it in the fridge when cool it lasts for a few days ... if the family leave it that long! Hope you enjoy!
