ABC Soup
The ABC in this recipe are
Alliums, Broccoli and Cabbage!
1 litre water
2 leeks, trimmed and cut
into chunks
1 large or 2 small onions,
peeled and roughly chopped
As much garlic as you like
(!), peeled
˝ medium cabbage, either green
or white, chopped
˝ head broccoli, chopped
(If liked) Small tin
sweetcorn or ˝ cup frozen sweetcorn
2 teaspoons vegetable
bouillon powder
1 teaspoon dried herbs
Pepper
(If you use the bouillon
powder, it won’t need salt, you know what commercial stock is like!)
Put leeks, onions and
garlic (the alliums) into the bottom of a steamer, add the water and
seasonings. Put the chopped cabbage
into the middle section, and the broccoli on the top. Cook on a high heat for 15 minutes. Put this all through the blender (you will probably need 2 goes) and
transfer to a clean saucepan; add sweetcorn, if using. Bring back to boil and serve.
This will keep for several
days in the fridge.
