Title: Vegetable soup
Post by: judydawn on February 01, 2013, 08:41:32 am

Name of Recipe: Vegetable soup
Number of People: 6 serves
Ingredients:
large handful parsley leaves
2 onions, quartered
100g celery cut into 8cm lengths
140g carrot cut into 5 cm chunks
200g zucchini cut into 8cm lengths
20mls olive oil
1.5 tsp tomato paste
1 litre beef stock
65g quinoa (I used tri colour)
60g small pasta
1 tbspn pesto - I used Tenina's sundried tomato pesto
1 tbspn Worcestershire sauce
S & P to taste

Preparation:

Chop parsley 2 sec/speed 7 - set aside.
Place onions, celery, carrot & zucchini into the TM bowl and chop 2 sec/speed 6.
Add the oil and sauté 7 mins/100^o/reverse/speed 2.
Add tomato paste & beef stock.  Cook 5 mins/100^o/reverse/speed 1. (I used boiling water to make my stock, if you use cold packet stock increase the time to 10 minutes)
Add quinoa and cook a further 15 mins/100^o/reverse/speed 1.
Add pasta & 500g water.
Cook 10 mins/100^o/reverse/speed 1 or 2 - I had to use speed 2 to get it moving then cut it back to speed 1.
Stir through pesto and parsley and cook a further 2 minutes at the same temperature & speed.
Test for seasoning and add S & P if needed - I added 1 tspn salt & a few grindings of pepper.

I really like quinoa. I had promised myself that I would make some soup as soon as it fell below 30 degrees. We had one day next week promised under 30 , but now it's gone.  All over 30.  I think I will make some anyway as we really enjoy soup.
This recipe looks lovely too Judy.

Cookie I have been resisting buying Quinoa, all these fandangled new ingredients that are available these days don't interest me but it is supposed to be so good for you so I thought I'd try it in something where it isn't that noticeable.  I think it looks really messy in salads but for soup, it's good.
