Topic: Super Tasty Healthy Veg Soup

[meggeth]

Fantastic, healthy, tasty soup! Bit like a fancy base recipe.

This is my wife's recipe. Just basically veg and spices, but I'm  always amazed how tasty this turns out.

Makes around 8 full portions. Can freeze for later use.

Veg -
1 stick celery
1 leek
2 medium potatoes (or replace one with sweet potato)
2 heaped teaspoons garlic paste or around 6 garlic cloves
1/2 courgette
1 carrot
1 onion
1 cup of washed lentils
1 red or green pepper
1 tin chopped tomatoes
4 green chillies

Spices-
1 hpd tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 hpd tsp coriander
1 hpd tsp cumin
1 hpd tsp mild madras
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp oregano
2 tbs tomato puree
1 stock cube
Handful fresh coriander
Good splash of Worcester sauce
2 1/2 pints water

Chop all veg.
Put in pressure cooker (you'll need around 6-7 litre one).
Add all spices.
Add water.
Bring to boil, pressure cook for around 12 mins.
Give it a quick blitz with hand held liquidiser for chunky soup, or longer for smooth soup.

If you like it spicy, add a decent chilli sauce for extra zing!

Try it, you'll not regret it.
