Wintery soup.

Winter is fast approaching and it is getting increasingly cold outside! There's nothing better on those cold days, when you just want to cuddle up on the sofa with a blanket, than a plate of warm, delicious soup! Lucky for you I'm going to tell you the recipe for the best carrot soup ever as well as showing you a picture of the soup when I made it.

Here's what you'll need:

8-10 carrots
2 parsnips
1 onion
1-2 cups of lentils
2 vegetable stock cubes
1 tbspoon parsley
1tbspoons coriander

Method:

1. Peel and chop the carrots and parsnips and chop the onion
2. Fry the onion in a pan
3. Add carrots, parsnips and lentils
4. Top up your pan with boiling water and add stock cubes
5. Chop the herbs and add them too
6. Leave to simmer for 50 mins to an hour (or until the vegetables are soft)

And there you have it, it's as easy as that! Not only is it easy to make, it's also cheap and it lasts ages! You could even freeze it so that you have some for later. Hope you enjoy making this and will speak to you again soon!

What's it all about?

Hello, and welcome to my blog! As the title suggests, it's mainly going to be about food. Seeing as I, myself, am a student, food that is ideal for students will feature a lot. Not just any student food though, good student food! Stuff that's easy and cheap to make but at the same time tastes good. You can also look forward to seeing pictures of some of the stuff I make. There's a few cook books that I'll hopefully be getting some inspiration from so I'll let you know about them and also possibly create some recipes from those too. Although my general focus is going to be main courses, there may also be the odd recreational cupcake recipe. That pretty much sums everything up for now, come back soon!
