Suzyboo's Fabulous Soup

From somewhere online lol.


For my friend Sam in the hopes she doesn't have to eat another carrot soup disaster :)

Suzyboo's Fabulous Soup Recipe


Ingredients:

1 large brown onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
olive oil

3 large carrots
1 medium sized sweet potato
1/4 pumpkin (Jap is nice)
chicken or vegetable stock to cover the veg (will depend on how much veg you chuck in)

Method:

1. Saute the garlic and diced onion in olive oil until lightly browned.

2. Chuck in the carrots, sweet potato and pumpkin and saute till lightly browned.

3. Add chicken stock to cover the veg and boil till tender.

4. Puree with a stick blender and serve with toasted bread.

The browning of the veg really adds to the flavour of this soup! This soup would serve 4. So it is quite a small soup but it works equally well with larger quantities of veg and stock. One of my all time favourite soups. I tend to make it when we have unexpected guests over for lunch. Always a winner :)

Paddington Bear Visits


















Squealy at Kings with Paddington Bear.

Squealy is having a visit for the weekend from the class pet: Paddington Bear. He has to take him places and report back in the journal provided.

So far he's visited Kings, where Squealy in his endless enthusiasm, slid off the platypus and face planted. The tears dried up very quickly though and there were no lasting injuries :)
