Courgette & Leek Potage

My family and I love soup a lot, so I cook soup quite often for dinner. Today, I found some courgettes and some leeks in the fridge and I cooked Courgette & Leek Potage.

[Ingredients]

2 courgettes

1 leek

1/2 soup stock

600cc water

salt & pepper

olive oil
 

1.　Slice courgettes & leek.

2.　Put some olive oil and (1) into the pan, and stir it.

3.　Add water and soup stock and boil it for 30 minutes.

4.　Use a hand mixer and make it smooth.

5.　Add some salt and pepper.
 

I always put some olive oil on top when I serve this soup.

 

After Easter, finally it is getting milder and I can feel that spring has arrived! This green colour soup makes me feel that spring has finally come. It tastes very simple and good. If you use milk & double cream, this soup becomes very creamy and it tastes so good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was raining quite a lot this morning, so our Cadwaladr could not go for a walk. He loves going for a walk because he can meet many nice people and nice dogs to say ‘Hello!’ to. Yes, he is a VERY friendly puppy. And he can run and run in the park. I felt very guilty not to take him for a walk because I took away his fun. I am sorry, Cadwaladr. In this picture, he looks very grumpy, doesn't he?

 

' How dare you! You didn't take me for a walk!!!!!!'

Honey Nuts Roast Salad

Honey nuts roast salad is my family's favourite, so I often cook this salad. I especially love the honey roasted nut topping. It is very easy to cook, but it makes the salad more delicious. I always cool them in the freezer after roasting, so they can be easily broken into pieces. When I cook this salad it becomes the main dish for dinner. It tastes so good, and we can have lots of vegetables. Today I have used salad spinach, rocket, lettuce, yellow pepper and carrot. Since it was Easter last week, I think we ate too much. I wonder how many chocolates we had last week. We must cut down on sugar to stay healthy. And now we are trying to eat healthy this week. But chocolates and biscuits are too tempting to resist them. And now I am trying to study baking, but I also want to stay healthy. I know it sounds very paradoxical.
