Needed something quick & healthy. Richard was clamouring for Fish & Chips and knowing me, we'd have been down the road in 5 mins ordering large cod and large chips each. OK, that's fine now and again, but i really do not want to do that on a regular basis.
So i had to find something that would excite him. He loves Mushrooms and cream, so could i concoct something that would be quick & yummy?
Of course, i could....
Ingredients:
Pack of white mushrooms
1 onion peeled and quartered
3-4 cups of water (straight from kettle saves time)
1/2 pack of spinach
Tin of chickpeas
Salt or Braggs Aminos
Black pepper
bunch of tarragon (or 1/2 teaspoon of dried)
1 tablespoon of stock powder
1 Pack of tofu (drained)
2-3 stalks of chopped celery.
Method
In a saucepan with a lid, place a pack of white mushrooms, (brush off earth) and all other ingredients except for Tofu. Put lid on and boil rapidly for 5 mins or less until the veggies (onion especially) are soft.
Place in a vita mix/blender or food processor with the tofu and blitz until creamy. Put back in pan. Add more boiling water to come to a soup-like consistency.
Serve.
It did the trick. Happy and full, fell asleep on the sofa. All without the waist-expanding excesses of Fish & Chips!
