A number of years ago we had to put Malakai in hospital while he fought a particularly awful infection. After 10 days and an emergency surgery we finally saw some relief.
Through it all Malakai only asked for two things - one was daddy and the other was mommy"s homemade vegetable soup.
As a mom who loves to cook it was my pleasure to bring him his most desired meal. I also loved that his favourite recipe was mine...It was helpful to give my hands something to do as we waited for him to get better.
The kids love to help me make it - and it's so easy we make this a part of our weekly meal plan.
Sauté
1 minced onion
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 stalks of diced celery
In a large knob of butter
Add 1/4 cup of wholemeal flour
Add 4-5 peeled diced potatoes
3 peeled diced carrots
Add any other left over veggie bits you find in the fridge- this time I added shredded cabbage. In the past I've used pumpkin, zucchini broccoli and cauliflower. Your preference
Sprinkle with 4 teaspoons of chicken stock powder
Add 4 cups of water
Bring to boil and reduce and simmer for 20-40 minutes until potato is fully cooked through
One trick I always do for the kids dishes is add frozen peas or corn to cool it down without watering it down.
There is never any left over! It's so yummy! Hope you enjoy this miracle soup
