Nana's magic soup
I was inspired by the tesco ad to create a similar soup. It sounded so yummy. I found a recipe online but I made my own version :2 carrots
2 small potatoes
2 sticks celery
2 small onions
1 large red pepper
fresh rosemary
2 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
chicken stock (pint)
paprika (teaspoon)
a little single cream
2 bay leaves
half a teaspoon of ground cumin
Roughly chop the red pepper and put on a baking sheet drizzled with olive oil. Add some chopped rosemary, chopped garlic, salt and pepper and paprika. Toss a bit to coat in the oil etc. Then put in the oven at gas mark 5 for 15-20 mins
In the meantime peel and chop the veg. Fry the onion until soft then add a teaspoon of paprika and a half teaspoon of cumin. Fry for a few mins then add the potato, celery and carrots. Stir and cook for about five mins on a medium heat.
Make up the chicken stock and add to the pan. Add in the bay leaves and then take the roasted pepper out of the oven and add the peppers to the pan along with the garlic.
Cook for about 20 mins, or until veg is soft. Then remove the bay leaves and whizz in a blender. Serve with a swirl of single cream.

Sounds interesting my magic soup cheers them all up makes them feel better is a simple brocolli and Stilton. Boil the brocolli with chopped onion until soft beat it with a whizzer stick or push through a sieve. Add crumbled Stilton. Let some melt and leave some in pieces.Even my soup hating husband will have a bowl.

I just buy the vegetable packs from sainsburys. One has carrots, onions, celery, potato. And the other is butternut squash. All chopped up in their packs. I add a chicken or vegetable stock pot, 2 garlic cloves, pepper, and salt. When cooked and soft, blend it.I am off to have some now.

So to taste I guess is the answer.

My husband and Nathan add a bit more as they have theirs later and we all like the slightly gooey unmelted bits which by time they have theirs has all melted. So to taste I guess is the answer.
