Green Soup of Dreams

One of my 'signature dishes' is the Green Soup of Dreams. This soup will fill you up whilst providing you the great majority of your 5-a-day, and it is so low cal and low fat that it is perfect for Monday night detox or summer readiness routine.

It is so tasty that you can serve it as a starter when you have guests, accompanied with some nice bread. Last but not least it is the simplest soup to make which doesn't come already prepared in a carton. Give it a go and leave a comment.

How to make it (3 people).

1. Take a mid size pan.

2. Put inside the pan one red onion (cut in half), 3 garlic cloves (whole), 1 vegetable cube stock, half fresh chili, florets from 1 broccoli, half cabbage grossly chopped, a bunch of mushrooms, a bunch of frozen peas and either: a pinch of saffron or two tea spoons of curry spices.

3. Add water until all vegetables are covered. Boil the water and cook for 20 minutes.

4. Liquidise all vegetables, garlic etc with a bit of broth (the soup needs to be thick). Add a pinch of salt if needed.

5. Serve with black pepper, a gallop of fresh yogurt or cream of Parmesan (as you wish).

PS. The broth is very nice too, so you can serve it in an espresso cup as a pre-starter

PPS. You can change any of the vegetable with any other green vegetables of your choice (e.g. spinach, courgettes, etc).
