We’ve all been to the Co-op late on a Thursday evening and seen nothing but swedes in the discounted aisle. Well, what is the best (and perhaps only) way to use them? Soup! Takes all of about 25 minutes to create and tastes sublime (and is incredibly healthy).
Ingredients:
1 swede
2 carrots
1 onion
Spinach (your choice, baby)
Yoghurt (natural or Greek)
Vegetable stock
Water
Cumin, coriander, a bay leaf
seasoning
Method:
1. Peel and dice the swede into sizeable chunks. Chop up the carrot and onion. Pour about 200ml (although more or less is fine) into a pan with the stock and spices and leaf and then bring to the boil.
2. Add the vegetables and boil away until the swede is soft (about 18-20 mins). Then (and you’ll need a machine for this) liquidise the contents and put back on the hob at a lower heat.
3. Add the spinach until it wilts and serve with a spoonful of yoghurt. Done – wasn’t that simple?
