I love that I can throw a lunchtime soup together quickly without the labour-intensive chopping that usually comes with making soup.
I find it so boring, standing in the kitchen chopping for what seems like forever.
I didn't even have to chop an onion to make this soup! How good is that?
Soup for one
It was just as well too as I was home alone and making soup for just myself.
We had plans for the evening so there was little point in making a big batch.
I turned to the freezer and my trusty blender for my green soup for one.
Super fresh soup
It was so fresh and spring-like, not to mention quick.
I selected my frozen vegetables, some spring onion, herbs and spices, then threw them into my blender with some hot vegetable stock, hit the button and stood back and admired how quickly my 9400 turned it into a silky smooth delight.
Soup Crackers
I served this quick soup with some crisp crackers for some crunch.
Not for dunking mind, just for crunch.
You could also serve some bread alongside this soup.
Now I say this is soup for one, but it's a greedy portion. You can definitely go back for another ladleful and you'll want to.
Did I mention how fresh this tastes?
also try Four Tomato and Red Pepper Soup (blender soup)
pin it for later

ReplyDeleteThanks Beth :)
DeleteThat is a lovely soup indeed. I was happy to host while you were busy. I am glad you are hosting this month though. xo
ReplyDeleteThanks for stepping in Lisa. Much appreciated x
DeleteI love its bright color! And of course it's so healthy - another good reason to make it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed :)
DeleteIt looks delicious and it's so easy to make. I love soups for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteThey really are a good last minute meal, well this kind are anyway. If I'm ever stuck for ideas I make soup and we always enjoy it.
DeleteAs I work part-time and my girls are in school I find lunch to be one of those meals I could cook for, but who wants to just cook for one? An easy soup with frozen veg sounds like a great way to sort a hot, but easy meal! Green is my favorite color so it goes without saying that I love the color too!!
ReplyDeleteExactly, I'm the same on a day off during the week. I happily make this though.
DeleteOoh wow, that really is a green soup isn't it? It looks beautiful. My 3 year old is obsessed with broccoli, she loves it. And hates soup. I might get her to make this with me so she can see how much broccoli goes in and see if we can get over her soup issues.x
ReplyDeleteYes it's definitely green. It's great your little one loves broccoli, Cooper has totally gone of it, so gets his share in soup;. Sigh!
DeleteThis looks fancy!
ReplyDeleteNo the simplest soup ever Ethan:)
DeleteOoo I love soups like this! I did one the other day with half a tin of tomatoes and some spices. Hey presto tomato soup haha!
ReplyDeleteGonna give this recipe a cheeky bookmark :) I almost always have the ingredients to hand so having another 'insta-soup' to use them in when I just need something quick, easy and hot will be a total win. Thanks for sharing it :)
To be honest a lot of my recipes come from what I usually have in the kitchen.it''s just a case of getting creative.
DeleteI currently have a cold (sniff) so this looks like the perfect soup for me at the mo - easy and healthy!
ReplyDeleteOh yes definitely Cathy, this would definitely give your body a boost!
DeleteThis looks great and so easy to make! The color is so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteYes super easy Mary Ellen and so fresh.
DeleteLove the green, so vibrant - must be good for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks and yes super healthy but tastes great too.
