Mixed Veg soup – and cheesy garlic bread

Posted by aartic on April 28, 2008

Last night I had made mixed vegetable soup. Its really very simple, I throw in all the vegetables (beets, carrot, peas, opo squash/dudi, tomato, spinach etc- basically whatever I have at home) in the pressure cooker, add salt and pepper, water and then cook it. After the vegetables are soft, I blend them all together. Its sort of a thick soup.

So last night I decided to serve the soup with some garlic bread, in the hopes that my son would at least try it. To my surprise he really loved the garlic bread and soup combo! He actually went and grabbed cheese from the fridge, sprinkled it on his bread and put spoonsful of soup on it – to make it look like an open sandwich! Voila! And he actually said, “I want this for my lunch tomorrow!”

So there – another monday morning made easy. I baked the garlic bread with cheese on top, and added the soup. For the fruits part I added some grapes in his box.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic! We’ll see how it did.

So how did it do? The garlic bread was gone. Some of the soup came back. The fruit was untouched. 3 stars.
