It wasn't such a disaster after all...


So he cooked 1 chicken breast which he then chopped up really small and added to the soup so it had small bits of real chicken in it.
It really lifted it and I really enjoyed it. ..........
Didn't need to do the curry powder this time but will try in future - veggie curry soup sound yummy!

I'm glad it all worked out so well - remember to note what you did so you can do it again!
I think if you add curry powder you are supposed to do it early for best results - say after the veg go in to cook but before stock. I had another veggie curry soup this week (soup of the day when I was having lunch with friends) and that was good too - but no oranges and apples in that one.

You really can't make mistakes in a SC. Chop up veggies of your choice (carrots, swede, celery, leeks, parsnip, turnip, onion, spuds.....). Add lots of veggie stock. Season. Add herbs if desired.

When cooked a few hours later, you can either thicken with a little flour and water or blend some of it with a stick blender or liquidiser and return to the SC as that will have thickened it, while still leaving some veggies whole.

Chuck it all in with veggie stock and cook!!!

No really, it is that simple! Onions, tinned tomatoes, courgettes, carrots, whatever you like really!!!

Enjoy!!

i a, rally bad when i comes to cooking!! how much vegt stock and for how long?

Toxic_Lemon

It depends how many veg you put in. Cover all the veggies with stock. So it's about an inch above them.
