here is my last soup recipe, honest!..............
Pete’s Mushroom Soup
Serves 2
Ingredients
Hot vegetable stock
6 large mushrooms, chopped finely
1 onion, chopped finely
1 garlic clove, chopped finely
1 tsp mixed herbs
Method
Spray a saucepan with Fry light and add the onion and garlic and “sweat” for 5 mins.
Add mushrooms and cook for a few minutes then add the hot stock, herbs, and bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins.
Remove from the heat and liquidise with a hand blender, add seasoning to taste, simmer for a further 15 mins.
I know that this soup looks unappealing but it was made with
Dark brown mushrooms as they were all I had in the fridge!
The taste more than makes up for it….

SW ROCKS!
From food optimising book - dried pasta (all types) free, healthwise choose wholemeal or wholewheat for extra fibre.
So recipe would be 1/2 syn no matter what spaghetti was used.

You only need to syn the pasta if your on a red day and you use over the amount that you have as a HEB.
For example you get 35g dried weight of wholewheat pasta as a HEB on a red day so anything over that amount would be a syn...
Dried pasta is free food on EE and Green days x

I am afraid they were pre-done from asda- 4 prawn kebabs on 2 for £5.
I would imagine though you could just get some of the blue dragon chili sauce and use. Or if you had some honey and Worcester sauce you could use that- marinade them overnight and cook them in the morning?
Or chili and garlic- again just chop us finely and marinade overnight.
Good luck! xx
