Long time no blog...a warming yummy (healthy) soup

Sorry for no blog posts for a while but I've been busy and off sick.

Back now.

It's grey and gloomy in London today so needed a warm but healthy lunch.

Soup...but what?

I made Cream of Red Onion, Celery and Cheddar.

6 red onions (you can use white and vary the number).
3 stalks of celery
1 tsp bouillon stock powder
Hot water to cover.
Handful of raw cashew nuts
2 tsp of chia seeds

Put all the above in a saucepan.

Cover and simmer for about 10 mins till veggies are translucent and soft.

Then decant to a blender. Blitz till smooth and creamy.

If you have a Vitamix blender just pop in some smsll cubes of cheddar cheese. If not grate the cheese. Blitz and adjust seasoning with black pepper and some salt or salt substitute.

Let down if too thick with either water or milk (I had some to use up).

Enjoy.
