Home for a late lunch - I had some chicken stock in the fridge from a couple of free range, corn fed chicken I jointed at the weekend, I also had large amounts of silver beet (Chard) and some brocolli in the garden. I have never made green soup before - soup is always a favourite but for some reason I hadn't made the green version.
I sauteed an onion and potatoe cut up finely and then added the stock. While this was happening I washed and cut up a large bowl of greens and then added them to the pot. Cooked it for a short time and then used my wonderful Breville Wizz Stick that I bought for a couple of dollars in a garage sale.
The photo doesn't do it justice. The white lumps are some New Zealand Creamy Blue Cheese that I crumbled and added at the last minute. It was so good I ate two bowls.
I'm actually commentin on the beautiful slug from an earlier post, just gorgeous.
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment on the Library.
I agree with you that the new all glass buildings have no appeal. The old one was just perfect, smelled right and lots of old wood, I loved it, but then I don't like change very much, maybe its to do with getting a bit older. lol
Have a nice Christmas.
