I’ve been busy making soup. The weather has been quite cold lately and it’s just nice to have hot heartwarming soup. Plus Sophie hasn’t been keen on porridge (I really don’t blame her) so rice with soup is great!

I made pumpkin soup for lunch and zucchini and watercress soup for dinner.

It’s really SO simple to make. I premade chicken soup/stock yesterday and froze them. Just needed to fry garlic & onions with unsalted butter, put in the veg and the stock, blend and voila – SOUP! For the zucchini and watercress soup, I just stirred in the bunch of watercress after the zucchini is soft, turn off the fire, let it simmer and then blend. Zilch salt, zilch sugar. Pure veg.

I’ve always known watercress to be really good for health but never really knew how. Did some research and found out that it’s a superfood! Full of vitamins and minerals. It’s a bit of an acquired taste but everyone in the family loves it. Read more about that here.

Sophie kept asking for more. In fact, she finished most of the pumpkin soup, including what I left for James. He got only two spoonfuls.

Great to know that both my babies are well fed. Makes me feel so good.
