Warming root-vegetable soup!
Autumn and winter is the perfect season for root-vegetables, and honestly, you can't but love these flavoursome and healthy foods! I love making soup on them, which I did for lunch earlier.
It is as simple as anything!
Warming root vegetable soup for four:
- 1 small yellow turnip
- 4 carrots
- 2 big parsnips
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 200 grams of white cabbage
- 1½ tablespoon tomato purée
- 2 vegetable stock cubes
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1½ liter water
Dice or grate all vegetables (I use a food processor for this), and put in a big pan with a little bit of olive oil. Let it heat up and add water, tomato purée, stock, thyme and let it boil for approximately 20 minutes. Taste it and add salt and black pepper as desired. Serve with a slice of unsweetened whole grain bread with a source of protein on it, I used a boiled egg.
This recipe is so easy to do, and also to modify as you wish. I quite often add minced meat (pork or beef) to it, with the water. White beans or soy beans are nice in it too. The vegetables will definately help you fight those nasty autumn colds!
Hope you enjoy :-)
