It is soup time in Cape Town.

Cape Town.....it is Soup Time........that is all I can think of preparing at the moment. So, here is my latest creation, Broccoli, potato and Apple soup.


Well, the list of ingredients continues......I also added green pepper, lemon rind, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, herbs, chicken stock, and if you wish to cream it, you can add a can of coconut milk or cream.

Firstly I saute the onion, garlic, apple and green pepper in a slug of Olive oil. Add the salt, pepper, herbs, lemon rind, garlic  and broccoli florets.

I added 2 L of chicken stock to the mixture, as well as 4 thinly sliced potatoes to thicken the soup and add texture.

Cook until all the vegetables are tender to the touch. Add salt, pepper and a touch of curry powder should you wish to spice the soup up a bit!

Once all the vegetables are soft, blend using a hand blender or a food  processor. If you wish to cream the soup, add  the coconut milk or cream at this stage. Re heat and serve in generous soup mugs or large, deep bowls with your choice of  bread....or a slice of pizza.

Re heat the soup and add the Coconut milk or cream..... or even just  normal milk if you wish. Check seasoning and serve.

Serve in generous soup mugs.

I decided to put the recently launched Dr Oetker Ristorante Pizza range to the test. I tried the Salame and Pepperoni  Pizza.

There are 6 flavours to select from in this Pizza range. Have a look in your local supermarket's  freezer cabinet.
 

Soup and a slice of Pizza....a great choice on a miserable Cape Winter's evening. Enjoy.... until next time.
