Thank You Mum

 

 

My day started with an email from my Mum, with a recipe.

Mum's Lettuce and Courgette Soup

Two Servings

Ingredients
1oz butter, plus a small amount of olive oil
8 fresh large outside dark lettuce leaves roughly chopped
1 medium onion, cut into small chunks
1 medium Courgette sliced or chopped
1 chicken or veggie stockpot or cube diluted with 1/2 a pint of water
1 level tsp Turmeric
1 clove of garlic crushed or finely chopped
salt and pepper
2 large spoonful of plain yogurt to stir in at the end

Method
Soften the onion, courgette and lettuce in the butter and oil for 5 minutes, do not let them brown.
Then stir in the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes.
Blitz with your blender.
Serve with a swirl of yogurt and a crusty bread roll if you're very hungry.

 

I used a pint of water with the stock and it still made a wonderfully rich soup, so a very thrifty recipe, as this way it would stretch to feeding 3 or 4 people with a bread roll.

Thank you Mum, guess what I'm having for lunch. .

So I already have my three things to say thank you for today - the day itself, my Mum and my brilliant warming inspirational lunch.

What three things can you say thank you for right now?
