Oh yes! No cakes today for you, my friends! I have a lovely, healthy recipe instead: beetroot soup!! As mentioned before I LOVE soups and often make them, particularly in winter. (And let’s be honest: we are still there aren’t we? Today there must have been one degree! Complete with a flurry of snow. :-() They are sooooooooooooooo easy! People who buy them ready made should be shot. You basically throw any vegetables you have in a pot together with a potato and an onion (which are key ingredients) , boil them up in some vegetable stock and when they are soft you liquidize the lot. Hey presto! You have soup! What could be easier? I know Candi is not a big fan of soups…or at least the people in her life. But what a quick and easy way to eat your five a day vegetables, don’t you think? This one has a fantastic colour, as you can see from the picture: a real dark velvety red. I made it using red/orange vegetables (beetroot, carrots and sweet potato- which is orange here!). Quick and delicious. P.S. Today is Mother’s day here in the UK. So happy Mother’s day to all the mums who read this blog! Let’s face it: it’s one of the hardest jobs!!!! Continue reading ‘Beetroot, sweet potato and carrot soup’
Lucina & Candi
Do you love food? Do you ever swap recipes with your friends? We do and now we want to share them with other people too (note the rhyme)! This blog has been set up by Candi and Lucina, two Italian friends with a passion for cooking now living in two separate countries (Italy and England).
English & Italiano
In order to reach as many friends as possible on both sides of the Channel (and beyond) we have decided to write in both languages. The order of the day is to share good, wholesome recipes without any of the faff! Without faff?! Senza tante menate! Let's improve our English by cooking o migliora il tuo italiano cucinando.
