Last night I accidentally made one of the best soups I have ever tasted. It was just divine.
I was doing that thing you do when you really need to go grocery shopping, but can't find the time, so you clean out everything in your fridge, and try to make something edible with it.
I had some celery and a can of tomatoes.
Hmm.
The beginnings of Minestrone maybe? Ok, lets give this a go. Whats the worst that could happen?
Well, it turned out delicious! Please try this next time you want something warm and nourishing.
Whoops soup.
Ingredients:
1 onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 litre of veg stock (I like Cambell's liquid stock)
About a cup full of celery, sliced
A dash of soy sauce (Kikkoman Naturally Brewed)
1 can of crushed tomatoes
about a handful of soup pasta
Sautee the onion and garlic in a heavy pot until soft. Add the stock, and when it starts to boil add the celery, soy sauce, tomatoes and pasta. Continue to simmer until the pasta is cooked.
Croutons.
Ingredients:
Sliced wholemeal bread (not fresh if possible)
olive oil
Italian herbs
Garlic powder
Put the oven onto 180 Degrees. Dice the bread, and place into a salad bowl, drizzle oil, and sprinkle herbs and garlic powder on top. Cover the bowl with cling wrap, and shake the croutons. If you want, repeat the process. Place onto an oven tray and bake until golden brown - about ten minutes.
