  • I made half the quantity as l didn't want to be inundated with soup and it has made 2 large portions
    This is what l used :
    2 parsnips
    1 Granny Smith apple
    1 onion
    1tsp of cinnamon
    500ml of veg stock

    Chopped the onion and saut!ed it, chopped all the other items and put everything into the soup maker with the other ingredients and set to smooth.
    And like magic l have a nice looking and tasty soup. Normally mine look terrible and taste the same lol x

  • Hi everyone,
    still haven't spent anything from GC budget. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the food I have in the house plus lots of goodies I have been gifted over the festive period.
    Planning a menu of very simple meals for the rest of the month.
    Good luck everyone.
