Summary: Oh is it stormy today! Luckily I have a super quick minestrone for you. In fact it’s so easy it’s one of my cheats soups (Potato, Leek & Bacon and Veggie & Pasta are the other two) which only take 30 mins to prepare and cook. This one features a package of stir fry veggies, I like the ones with red & white cabbage, celery, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli and capsicum. This hearty minestrone is perfect for a cold day! You can run in from work, turn the heater on, get this going and it will be ready to eat by the time you get your comfy clothes on! This easily doubles if you have a hungry horde to feed….

[…] Summary: A little while ago I posted a recipe called Cheats Soup that received quite a good response – so I thought another one was in order! Now, I know that instant mash potato has a pretty bad rap but it does make this recipe oh so quick and simple. When I’m keen to get dinner on the table, potato and leek soup just doesn’t get a look in. All that peeling and chopping before you even start cooking! You could used pre chopped bacon in this but I find snipping with scissors doesn’t take long. P.S.- Cheats Soup III, Minestone has been added here. […]
[…] Summary: This is so easy, it’s embarrassing! I truly having been meaning to share it for over a year but it gets made when time is too tight or can’t be bothered nights and I never remember to take photos! It all started when I was sick one day and fancied a nice veggie soup but there was no one to make it but me and I really did not trust myself to stand and chop veggies without falling over or cutting myself! It’s been a go to meal ever since. I recommend using stock powder in this to boost flavours to your tastes. PS – I’ve also added Cheats Soup II – Potato, Leek & Bacon and Cheats Soup III – Minestrone […]
