]]> It’s the perfect time of year to try new soups and you’ll be glad you gave this garlic soup a try! In addition to being very healthy, it is also absolutely delicious and very comforting on a cold evening. Here’s a recipe that shows you how to make it.

Ingredients

  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 onion
  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 vegetable or chicken stock cube
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of single cream (optional)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat your whole peeled garlic cloves in your olive oil on a medium heat until they become golden brown. Make sure not to burn them. Add a finely chopped onion to your pan and cook until transluscent, which should be 5-10 minutes. Stir in your potato cubes and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add your vegetable or chicken broth until it covers your vegetables. Add your dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  3. Bring the soup to a gentle boil and leave to simmer. Cover and leave on a low heat to cook your potatoes, around 15-20 minutes.
  4. Use a hand blender to blend your soup once it is all cooked. If you want it to be extra creamy, stir in your single cream. Taste for salt and pepper and add more if needed. Serve with crusty bread and garnish with fresh parsley if you like. Enjoy!

]]> Root vegetables may not be thought of as the best vegetables, but that is just wrong! Root vegetables are beautiful, colorful, and packed full of flavor and nutrients. With most of them being in season until the start of spring, nothing says a winter meal better than a root vegetable meal.

Roasted Parsnips

Parsnips are thought to be the cousin of carrots, but in fact, they are their own vegetable. Slightly sweet, nutty, and a big earthy, roasting them really brings out the sweetness and makes for a perfect side dish. You can either cut them lengthwise or into disks, drizzle over olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast to perfection!

I’d never made parsnips before, but boy oh boy, it’s going to be a staple from now on. I love it! 😁 I’ve always enjoyed it in restaurants, but I’ve never brought it home. Two weeks ago, I had the most delicious ones made by a friend, a @jamieoliver recipe she said, and I am hooked! 💚 . . Here I made roasted parsnips, drizzled with olive oil, salt, touch of butter, for the glorious taste, freshly ground pepper, some fresh lemon thyme sprigs from the garden, and a light go over with honey. In the oven for less than 30 minutes, I didn’t Brown these too much as I like the denseness, almost sweet potato like texture of it. So yum! 😋 This was made last week, and today I did the remaining with some red pepper in a quick sauté. Where have you been hiding, dear parsnip?! . . . #parnips #roastedparsnips #vegetables #roasted #roastedveggies #londoncooking #london #londonlife #lifestyle #cooking #foodie

Leek and Turnip Soup

Turnips can be a bit bitter, but when cooked right, they add a great balance to any meal. For this soup, start by sauteing cut leeks in vegan butter or oil. Add in peeled and diced turnips and cook for just a few minutes. Cover everything with broth and simmer until everything is soft. Puree, season, and serve!

Carrot Salad

If you want a fresher dish for winter, make a grated carrot salad with some fresh lemon juice and green onions and you’re set!

Do you know what salad is really popular in France? 🇫🇷 Carrot salad! 🥕😋 The French carrot salad is a refreshing change from the mayo-and-raisin version that most of us have tried. This simple, healthy salad is simple grated carrots with a tangy lemon, olive oil, and Dijon dressing that enhances the carrots' natural sweetness. 👍 You'll understand why the French love this salad so much!!! 💙❤Grab the recipe link in my bio. . . . #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #thecookfeed @thecookfeed #davidlebovitz @davidlebovitz #frenchcarrotsalad #carrotsalad #gratedcarrots #gratedcarrotsalad #lemonjuice #dijonmustard #oliveoil #nomayo #noraisins #frenchfood #frenchsalad #frenchcuisine #healthyfood #eatingmyveggies #cleaneating #homemadefood #healthyeatinghabits #carrotlife #instayum #instafoodie #tastespotting #saladrecipe #saladideas #foodbloggerpro #bonappetit #foodblogfeed @foodblogfeed
