many soups

we have been making lots of the soups at the moment.. in an effort to be healthy and have something hot!... last night we made broccoli and chilli.... mmm x



i love that soups are so easy to make and that you can pretty much use anything you have!... i made this one by frying some garlic, onion and two chilli's in a little butter, adding the entire broccoli (stalks and all!) topping with two kettles full of stock and leaving to boil before blending and adding a dollop of greek yoghurt when serving... we have left overs (i always have leftovers!) so tonight i might just mix some rice in. xx

New Year!
