Spring Soup

Spring Soup recipe - eat well on universal credit


When we made the Slow roast Pork Shank on Thursday we had about a pint of Stock and vegetable left over. Sue usually keeps any stock we have left over anyway, but this just had Soup written all over it. So with the addition of a few herbs from the  Edible York planters ( http://www.edibleyork.org.uk ) we’ve just had a pretty tasty soup for a grand total of not a bean!

Ingredients for the previous Stock:-

1 Carrot
1 Onion
1 Potato
1 Bay leaf
A sprig of fresh Fennel Tops
1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 tbsp Coriander seeds
4 cloves of Garlic
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt

Additional herbs:-

A handful of mixed fresh herbs:-

Fennel Tops
Chives
Lovage
Parsley

Method:-

(1) Add the Stock and herbs to a blender and blitz.
(2) In a saucepan heat to a rolling simmer.
(3) add a little fresh ground Black Pepper to top to and a sprig of Parsley.

Enjoy – We did…..

Having spent nearly 10 months either in a hostel or in a tent we are probably better equipped than the TV chefs to offer you our low cost recipes. We've been there and done it, as it were! These recipes initially only required a (camp) stove, a couple of pans, a frying pan, maybe an oven and a limited number of ingredients. As we're slowly worked our way out of the bad situation we found ourselves in we've added both gadgets and ingredients to our kitchen arsenel.
 
We worked on and still are working on a budget of £4 to feed 2 people Smooh the Cat and sometimes scraps for the urban Foxes!
 
We hope you find these recipes fun, interesting, tasty and useful. They are all also Gluten Free as Sue has Coeliac Disease but normal pasta etc. will cost you less.
 
Feel free to use them, share them, print them, most or all enjoy them.
 
We hope they will be of assistance to those on Universal Credit, our Homeless friends, Students, those on a limited income or anybody looking for a little inspiration.
