Many of you know that we are a small family business located on the outskirts of Melbourne. And Melbourne being Melbourne, it’s been chilly and what with lockdown after lockdown, we have taken to making a lot of soups at home.
Our favourite #stayathome soup has been veggie soup which is super healthy, light on the waistline and perfect for a healthy light lunch. Our under 30-minute recipe is as follows:
Ingredients:
1 full Leek sliced up
1 teaspoon Smoke and Peri
Drizzle of olive oil
Celery
Zucchini
Chicken stock with hot water to cover your veggies
½ Cabbage
2 lemons
Feel free to throw in any vegetables you want and swap out the chicken stock for veggie stock.
Method:

Serve with:
Squeeze of fresh lemon before serving and
