Last week we made vegetable soup. This is a lovely easy recipe. You can actually use any vegetable in it.
We chose the following:
Sweetcorn (tinned)
Courgette
Mushroom
Cherry tomatoes
Onion
Red pepper
Carrot

Here is how to do it:
Boil a saucepan with about 200ml of water. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a vegetarrian stock cube.
Add the chopped onion and carrot first, as this takes longest to cook.
Add the other vegetables one by one, chopping into small bite-sized pieces
Finish by adding about 1 tablespoon of tomato puree for taste.
Cook for about 20 minutes on a gentle heat and then serve.

Remember you can use any vegetables. Have a go and let us know what your soup was like.
