It’s like a meal title from a Dr Seuss book, and it’s cracking in more ways than taste.. How’s 20 minutes in the making and $14 dollars to feed 4 people a delicious organic meal. Soothing, restorative and warming. I love the ‘stick mix’ method of soup making when you’re strapped for time – You don’t need to chop anything with precision, as it’s all about to be puréed. This soup forgives you, just get everything in the pan already and enjoy!
So yummy, right? Let’s have one more pic, shall we?

Garnish and Accompaniment ideas
To make the brown butter hazelnuts, smash some whole activated hazelnuts in a tea towel, with a rolling pin.
Then pan fry in a teaspoon of butter or coconut oil until brown for a couple of minutes, finishing them off in the oven for 10 minutes on 180C/350F. Cool or use warm, and sprinkle onto your soup as a delicious, nutty garnish for some crunch!
Or you could do…
- Chia seed sprinkle – Add texture, fibre, calcium and omega 3 nourishment with those little bad boys. A teaspoon should do it!
- Fresh parsley – need I say more?
- Fresh basil in season
- A quenelle of fresh goats curd for some tang and acidity
- Finely chopped spring onions
- Garlicky Croutons
- Fresh mint
- Crushed toasted nuts
