At this time of year I love a good warming bowl of soup. I find it so comforting, on a cold day to sit inside, snug and warm with a big bowl of soup. Not only is it a great comfort food but it is also a great way to get plenty of goodness into our diets.
While shopping the other day I spotted a stew vegetables bundle reduced down to just 25p and I knew it would be ideal for a soup so popped it into my basket! The vegetables that are in this super chunky soup are cheap roots and full of flavour.
This is what I did...
Chunky Root Veg Soup

200g carrots, chopped
100g parsnips, chopped

1 stick of celery, finely chopped

I love soups like this and such good value to get most of the ingredients for just 25p! I have been fighting off a cold for about 3 weeks now so I really need to make something similar to help chase it away. Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x

ReplyDeleteThe perfect thing for winter weather x
ReplyDeleteThere is something really comforting about soups at this time of year kirtsy. 25p is such a bargain for a pack of vegetables and this is a great way to use them up.
