This is just a recipe of my own. You can basically put whatever veggies you want into it, although, I wouldn't put spinach because that would clash with the beef stock. OR just use vegetable or chicken stock instead of beef if you want to add spinach. I just used whatever veggies I had. So feel free to put in celery, eggplant, parsnip, turnip, sweet potato, zuchinni, etc. You don't need to chop everything perfectly - it's all about the taste.
BTW, so sorry for the lame title :P
Equipment:
- Large pot (cast iron, if you have one)
- Wooden spoon,
- Sharp knife
- Pestle and mortar
- Bowls to put ingredients into (about 4)
Ingredients:
-2 small or medium sized onions, diced
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 3 red chilies, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed (you may adjust to taste)
- Ginger crush (half the amount of garlic)
- 1-2 tbs of extra virgin olive oil
- 5-6 rashers of bacon, cut into chunks
- 2 carrots, cut into cubes
- 4 small-medium sized potatoes, quatred or eigthed
- 1 can of purred tomatoes
- 4-5 large mushrooms, cut however you like
- However many green beans, quatred or thirds
- 1 beef stock cube, or small pot
- Salt and cracked pepper to taste (but keep in mind that this is supposed to be a healthy soup, go easy on the salt, go crazy on the pepper!!)
Method:
1. After slicing and dicing, place the onions, spring onions, and chilies into the post over medium heat (don't forget the oil!).
2. After crushing the ginger and garlic together in the mortar, put it in the pot.
3. After slicing the bacon, and after the onions are browned, put them in the pot.
4. After browning, add the carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and beans.
5. Add the can of pureed tomatoes and then, using the same can, add a can of water.
6. Now, prepare the stock in a separate bowl. Using one cube or one small pot of stock, add two cups of boiling water and stir to mix. Now add to the pot.
7. If needed, add more water.
8. Add salt and pepper.
9. Bring to the boil by placing it on high heat. After bringing to the boil, take it back to medium heat and simmer for about an hour or until your liking.
10. ENJOY with small bread rolls and mozerella cheese on top.
