Easy home made soup recipes please

[notaniceperson]

Ive got a blender thingy and a juicer thingy, havent got a clue about either, do you have any easy recipes for soup or smoothies or any thing that i could do with these apparatus's please.
Thanks x

A veggie soup? with leeks, carrots, spuds, turnips, onions, garlic, stock. I'll supply the full recipe only if you're really interested . That's for the blender.

For the juicer, a mix of oranges, grapefruit and lemon.

blender thingy .. smoothies??

fruit of choice .. say strawberries and bananas plus yogurt or ice cream

soups .. fry some onion, add some lentils (dried) .. add a few pints of stock .. and whatever veg you have that's on the turn .. like carrots and brocolli, season and cook for an hour or so then blend

A banana, some milk, a spoon of yoghurt (optional) a teaspoon of cocoa powder. Blend. Chocolate milkshake for the reluctant-to-eat-before-school child.

Pumpkin soup.
Sweat onions, garlic and chopped peeled pumpkin/squash in a big pan. Add water and a chicken stock cube. Cook for 20 minutes or so then blend. Add seasoning of your choice (Cumin seed/chilli/nutmeg) For a thicker soup add some red lentils and cook till they dissolve. This freexes well and tastes even nicer with some grated cheese or a spoonful of plain yoghurt stirred in before serving.

Buy a pack of those stew veg thingys (like £1 in most shops), fry up the onion, then add the veg and cook in stock for 40 mins. Then blitz in the blender.

my daughter loves this soup and she doesn't even realise how much veg she is eating :)
You can use a mix really of any these veg
Broccoli
Cauli
Savoy Cabbage
Carrots
Leeks
Courgettes
or any veg which is going slightly out of date
Add some potatoes as these help thicken the soup
Add herbs(mixed herbs) and if you need to if the children are older a veg stock cube
Just bring to the boil, simmer until the veg is cooked, puree in the blender and it is ready.
You can add milk to taste or to thin it and you can freeze it.
My dd particularly like broccoli and cheddar, just grate the cheese and add before serving

Thanks very much, they sound easy enough so im going to have a go.

I always make a soup with roast chicken dinner leftovers.
Throw in the gravy as well. It tastes fab.
