Bean & veggie soup

Bean & veggie soup

This is my version of an Italian minestrone with beans and lots of veggies – fabulous to make this weekend! The beans are soaked overnight and then precooked before adding the fresh veggies. This way the beans are soft and the veggies don’t overcook, but still have some texture and lots of colour.

Bacon & potato soup

Soup is homely, comfort food and this recipe will quickly become a winter favourite, not just because of the flavour, but also the chunky texture. Bacon and potato always work well together, but make sure you remove any excess bacon fat, otherwise it can settle on top of the soup. Also take care when seasoning, as bacon is salty. Potatoes don’t freeze well as they become glassy. Rather keep leftovers for lunch the next day.

Quick macaroni & cheese

No household should be without quick macaroni & cheese recipe. Some recipes are more like a stiff quiche mixture. I prefer lots of texture in this dish and always put corn and peas in my recipe, because my kids love it and it is a great way to include extra veggies for them.

Kyk, party bestanddele is nou maar eenmaal ’n wonderlike kombinasie, soos vars kruie en suurlemoen. Of basiliekruid en tamatie. Sit nou ’n bietjie fetakaas by en almal gaan hul lippe aflek. Moenie huiwerig wees om ’n heel hoender soos dié plathoender voor te berei nie – volg net die stappe, dis regtig maklik. As die hoender só gaargemaak word, lyk dit indrukwekkend, word mooi eweredig gaar en is baie maklik om in porsies op te sny.’n Besonderse ete!
