Creamy Potato Soup

Image

I have a confession. I am not much of a potato eater. Yep not at all. Unless…unless you add milk, I’m hooked. I know you must be thinking ‘gross’ but hey there are way grosser things than this. Yes? No?

And since potatoes + milk are my thing, creamy potato soup is ideal. I thought I should share a recipe.

Ingredients

4 small potatoes

1 C Milk

1 small onion chopped

1 Clove garlic chopped

1 Small carrot chopped

1 Small green paper chopped

1/2 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp cooking oil

Directions:

  • Peel and boil the potatoes till soft to the touch. let cool
  • In a blender, combine the potatoes, milk and salt. Blend till pureed
  • In a pot, fry the garlic, onion, carrot, green paper in cooking oil and season with ginger. Saute for two minutes.
  • Add the potato puree
  • Keep stirring till al the flavors have fully blended.
  • You may want to add more water in case the soup is too thick for your liking
  • Let the soup simmer for 7 minutes. Allow time to cool
  • Serve warm
  • Garnish with carrot sticks and roasted sesame seeds

Now doesn’t that sound and taste yum?!

Stir-fry From Scratch

Image

I love stir fries or rather frys(new word?!). I also love stir frys that are from scratch. Being able to whip up something amazing in just a few minutes from scratch is so awesome.Its double fun. I think. Anyway I wanted to share this recipe with you and I hope you enjoy. Remember you can substitute anything for anything.

What you will need:

1/2 C Eggplants cubed

1/4 C Carrots sliced

1/2 C French beans julienned

1/4C Mushrooms chopped

1/4 C Pineapples cubed

1/4C Chilli sauce

1 Tbsp Sesame seeds (roasted)

1/4C Tomatoes cubbed

1 Medium Onions diced

Salt

pepper

oil

In a frying pan, combine the first three ingredients with the oil. Cover and let cook for 3 minutes. Open and stir while adding salt, pepper and the next three ingredients. Cover and let cook for another 3 minutes. Lastly, add the sesame seeds, the tomatoes and the onions. Keep stirring for another three minutes. Remove from fire and let cool. Goes well with rice.

Note: The  consistency will be  half cooked crunchiness. If you want it to be more cooked, keep stirring  until your desired feel.

Enjoy

PS: I suck  at  creating directions I hope you don’t mind mind.
