Gorgeous Green Fridge Raid Soup

This is super simple way of getting in the fridge and using up any rogue and random bits and bobs - from the last onion, garlic, any green veggies or herbs.

With some love and then blitzed together this gives you a delicious bowl of goodness - at the same time reducing your food waste AND saving you money!

What I used from my fridge:

1 x onion, peeled

A few cloves of garlic, peeled

1x leek

1 stick of celery

1 potato

1 x courgette

A handful of brocolli

A handful of spinach

1 tin of cooked lentils, drained

Veg stock

2 tsp dried herbs - I used thyme

Splash of Tamari soy sauce

Salt & pepper

Olive oil

A spoonful of yoghurt for topping - optional

Lets cook:

1. Start by getting all your veggies ready. Wash and roughly chop them. Everything will be blitzed up making this super easy to prepare.

2. In a large pan add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by your onions, garlic, leeks and celery.

3. On a medium heat, let this gently cook for a few minutes.

4. In goes the rest of your veg.

5. Stir everything together.

6. In goes the lentils, stir these in with your veg.

7. Add your herbs, a good pinch of salt and pepper, a splash of Tamari (soy sauce) and your veg stock.

8. Your veg stock should just cover the veggies.

9. Pop on a lid and this gently simmer until the veggies are cooked through. This will be about 10/15 minutes.

10. When the veggies are cooked. Take off the heat and let cool slightly before blitzing.

11. I use a hand blender as it is so much easier and less washing up. You can of course use a free standing blender. Be mindful using either as the soup is hot.

12. Blitz until super smooth.

13. Have a taste, tweak if needed.

14. Serve warm with a drizzle of yoghurt, olive oil, spices, seeds, a handful of cheese... the choice is yours

15. This soup is DELICIOUS!
