Twogreensoup Recipes

Steps:

• Saute the onion, garlic and celery in oil until soft. Add 4 1/2 cups of stock, split peas, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil; then cover loosely and simmer over low heat for about 40 minutes.
• Add zucchini, remaining stock, and seasonings. Cook for another 10 minutes, until zucchini is tender.
• Remove bay leaves and discard. Puree soup, return to the soup pot and stir in the spinach and parsley. Cook over medium heat for several minutes. Adjust seasonings and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line rimmed baking pan with foil.
• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Cook onions, carrot and celery in oil 9 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are just tender. Stir in garlic, salt, dried herbs and pepper; cook about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant. Add beans and broth. Increase heat to high; heat to simmering. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in baby greens; simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until greens are tender.
• Meanwhile, place baguette slices on pan; brush with remaining 4 teaspoons oil. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until crispy and lightly browned.
• To serve, divide soup among bowls; top with Parmesan cheese, and serve with baguette.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the leek, broccoli, cucumber, peas, potatoes, parsley, watercress, cabbage and stock. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer until all the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Strain the soup, and reserve the liquid in the saucepan. In a food processor, puree the vegetables with a little of the reserved liquid. Whisk the puree into the reserved liquid, or pass everything through the medium disk of a food mill and return to the pan. Season with salt and vinegar. Allow the soup to sit for a few hours.
• Stir in the basil and pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 1 minute.

Steps:

• Put the spring onions, potato and garlic into a large pan. Pour over the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins with a lid on or until the potato is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon.
• Add the peas and bring back up to a simmer. Scoop out around 4 tbsp of the peas and set aside for the garnish.
• Stir the spinach and yogurt into the pan, then carefully pour the whole mixture into a blender or use a stick blender to blitz it until it's very smooth. Season to taste with black pepper.
• Ladle into bowls, then add some of the reserved cooked peas and scatter over your favourite soft herbs or cress. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Put the oil in a deep pan, add the garlic, ginger, coriander, turmeric and salt, fry on a medium heat for 2 mins, then add 3 tbsp water to give a bit more moisture to the spices.
• Add the courgettes, making sure you mix well to coat the slices in all the spices, and continue cooking for 3 mins. Add 400ml stock and leave to simmer for 3 mins.
• Add the broccoli, kale and lime juice with the rest of the stock. Leave to cook again for another 3-4 mins until all the vegetables are soft.
• Take off the heat and add the chopped parsley. Pour everything into a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. It will be a beautiful green with bits of dark speckled through (which is the kale). Garnish with lime zest and parsley.

Steps:

• In skillet, brown ground beef; drain well and place in a 5 qt slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients and enough water to fill pot 3/4 full. Cook all day on high or adjust cooking time for your slow cooker. Soup can also be made by placing ingredients in covered roasting pan and cooking all day in a 250 degree oven.
