Serves 4
1 onion (chopped)
150 grams potatoes (peeled and sliced)
800 ml vegetable stock (hot)
350 grams frozen peas
400 can of green lentils (drained)
2 rounded tsps curry powder (mild)
1 tbsp oil
Heat oil in a big pan and cook onion until soft. Add curry powder and cook over a low heat for one minute.
Add potatoes and stock, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Then add peas and lentils.
Return to boil and simmer for another 5 minutes
Purée the soup or blend until not quite smooth and season to taste.
The two-legged mouse 'woofed' it down, and then trotted back for more - under normal circumstances I wouldn't blend it until really smooth of course, although it didn't spoil the mildly spicy flavour at all. And we'd have fresh crusty bread - aren't I kind cutting the crusts off (the birdies are loving it).

Normally I wouldn't even contemplate pea soup but, having read the ingredients, I think this might be the exception to the rule. I'll copy the recipe and see what himself thinks - he usually loves anything with curry powder in it so could be on the menu some time this week. Glad to hear the two-legged mouse is on the mend and has regained his appetite :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

Hope you have a good weekend.

Mmm, not sure, I may like it but feel that no-one else would.
ReplyDeleteYou may like to try my cream of onion soup which I made Friday afternoon.
1lb of onions finely chopped.
2 sticks of celery, finely chopped.
1 or 2 leeks, finely chopped.
Bunch spring onions, finely chopped.
1 pint of chicken stock
Seasoning
1 large tablespoon cornflour.
Put all the chopped veg into pyrex bowl and microwave for 3 minutes.
Stir cornflour into veg and mix with chicken stock.
Cook in microwave for 5 minute.
Stir
Cook for further 5 minutes, stir and add half a pint of milk(hot if to be eaten immediately) cold if to be eaten later. (I prefer to make it the day before I intend to use it)
Add seasoning.
Blend in blender.
Yesterday I had a bit of raw cauliflower left and just chopped that up and through it in.
I always blend my soups as I don't like chunky soup
The only time I don't add the milk is if I am making tomatoe soup as it can make it go a bit pink.

Can't beat homemade soup.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Len's doing fine. xxx
Belated comment - at my school at the end of the summer term every year we would all gather in the assembly room (aka 'The Hut') and the two Head Girls (1 Boarder, 1 Day Girl) went through all the Lost Property, if nobody claimed an item as theirs it went to whoever wanted it.
ReplyDeleteThis event was known as 'Orgy'
I thought the name would amuse you all!
