I have to admit that i prefer mine blended to. When i made it i blended half and kept half lumpy so that i could mix it up and stop it getting monotanous (sp?)
That's what I use as well. I couldn't be bothered to blend the whole lot in one go either and divided it up into servings, froze them and defrosted and blended them as and when I fancied it. I am the great procrastinator, never do today what you can possibly postpone til tomorrow!
oo yes a handblender is a good idea! ive got a baby mini lindam one lol! :/ I mite do half the ingredients then - how long do i have to simmer it for?xx
i put worcester sauce in and mixed herbs and chilli powder and it just smelt horrid - i hate veggies anyway really - most of em anyway and i juts couldnt put up with the smell - i couldnt even leave it to cook it try it as it was stinking the house out really really bad lol x
I've just made this soup and it is gorgeous!! I've just eaten some for breakfast!!! I didn't have all the ingredients so I just made it up as I went along!! I used:
2 parsnips
1 green pepper
1 large onion
A few broccoli florets
1 can of baked beans
1 tin of mushrooms
A bit of chilli
Half a can of tomatoes
I make variations of this all the time!! Its nice to mix it up a bit!
Yours sounds lovely, i had some of a blended vegetable one which i made on sunday for breakfast this morning, its so lovely to start the day with something all warm!! xx
I'm not sure I could manage it for breakfast but each to their own! lol Mind you I'm hooked on couscous with sultanas and mullerlite for my brekkie.........and for lunch sometimes...........and one night I even had it when i got home from work as well because I couldn't be bothered making anything else! Those are the days I don't complete my diary.........
I love the sound of the soup, but then again I love veggies. Just found a recipe in a Heart magazine that I am going to try to change a bit for a free food.
I love the speed soup
I have had a few bowls of it this week and also been having at least 2 pieces of scan bran a day to help my loss.
Fingers crossed I will lose on weds. xxx
when i first did this i tasted and thought ummmm its okay. But a night in the fridge and warmed back up in the microwave has made all the difference for me anyways.
