Recipe One - Chunky Vegetable Soup

The first recipe I've used from the BBD is the chunky vegetable soup and it's so easy to make and yummy to eat that I thought I'd share it with you all!

So, here goes!

Ingredients:

• 1 litre of cold water.
• 1 vegetable stock cube.
• 400g can of chopped tomatoes.
• 2 teaspoons of mixed herbs.
• 1 teaspoon of chilli in a tube or half a fresh chopped chilli.
• 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped.
• 1 tablespoon of tomato puree.
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped.
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped.
• 1 red pepper, deseeded and chopped.
• 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and chopped.
• 2 medium courgettes, diced.
• 3 sticks of celery, chopped.

Method:

1. Pour the water into a large saucepan and bring to a simmer.
2. Crumble over the stock cube and stir until dissolved.
3. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the courgettes, and simmer
4. Gently simmer the vegetables for five minutes then add the courgettes and cook for a further 8-10 minutes until all the vegetables are soft.
5. Season with lots of black pepper and serve with a slice of rye bread.

Yum!

Stay happy,
