Roasted Tomato & Capsicum Soup

August 23rd 2008 08:52

It's nearly the end of winter, but it's still pretty chilly so soup remains a tempting dinner choice. And as my darling says to me: "It's good lazy food." I couldn't have put it better myself.

This soup is easy and yum.

Roasted Tomaroes & Capsicum Soup (2 serves)

What you need:
4 large tomatoes
1 large red capsicum
1 small brown onion
2 cloves garlic
fresh basil

Roughly chop and bake the veggies with a little olive oil, salt and black pepper. Once they're tender, push them through a sieve, reheat the mixture and serve with freshly baked bread. Preferably by an open fire or by candlelight.

Cashew and Carrot Curry Soup

April 19th 2008 13:33

Carrots never tasted so good... and they're good for you too.

Carrots? Healthy and packed with carotene, which your body will convert to Vitamin A for the health of your eyes and skin.

Cashews? A tasty nut giving a hit of protein and iron, both essential elements of a vegetarian diet.

Curried Carrot and Cashew Soup (serves 4)

What you need:

500g carrots
2 small onions
1 Tbsp butter or dairy-free spread
1 –2 Tbsp curry powder
1-2 tsp cumin powder
3 cups water
1 cup toasted cashew nuts

What to do:

Slice carrots and chop onions finely. Melt butter, add curry powder and chopped onions, then saute until onions are soft. Add the carrots and water, then simmer until carrots are tender. Blend cashew nuts until finely ground. Drain carrots and onion, then add to blender. Season with salt & pepper. Reheat to serve. Top each serving with parsley and plain yoghurt.

This soup can be served on its own as a meal with wholegrain bread, or as a starter to whet your appetite.

The Benefits of Brown Rice

April 17th 2008 12:42

Your mother may have told you that brown rice is better than white, but do you know why?

It takes longer to cook, but brown rice beats white rice hands down because it's packed with fibre. White rice is just brown rice with the bran husk removed - during this process, most of the nutritional benefits are lost

Best Pumpkin Soup By Far

April 1st 2008 04:51

Soup is a comforting meal on cold winter nights and especially, too, with the rich colour of pumpkin...

The golden hue of pumpkins tells us straight away that they're loaded with beta-carotene (to reduce the likelihood of cancer and other serious diseases) and antioxidants (to promote general wellbeing and strengthen the immune system). Pumpkins are also low in fat and contain a number of essential vitamins. Try this recipe for pumpkin soup
