Cold green soup

I don't know how you guys, but I like soups. Of course it is usually winter time when we want something warm, but I some times want soup on summer too. Soup gives the sens of fullness very quickly and can be made in so different types: thick or liquid, with lots of ingredients or just with few of them.
I think the most popular cold soup in my country in Cold beetroot soup. I told you about them earlier and the vegan versions of it you can find in other post of this blogg.
Another cold soup that is loved is cold soup of sorrel (that in reality is also made with kefir). But just because I never liked it that much, I haven't tried to do vegan version.

So, one day, awesome youtuber and blogger Jenny Mustard published 2 min cold soup recipe. Just because I don't eat lots of ingredient she used, being inspired by her idea, I decided to make my own version of Cold Green Soup.


The video of how to make this soup you can find in my youtube page


And the full recipe is here:

- Coco milk (400 ml) - I used the thick version of it, because I think it is more natural
- Cup of sprouted Mungo beans
- Cup of fresh or frozen green peas
- 3 heads of fresh broccoli (or can use frozen one )
- Handful of spinach (I used fresh ones but it is OK frozen)
- Handful of zucchini peels (I leave them when making zucchini noodles)
- Salt, cayenne pepper and turmeric according to your taste (for me it was OK 2 pinches of each)
- Water as required

 So put all ingredients (except spinach) in to the blender and blend until everything is going to mix. Then put spinach and blend again until is smoothie. Water you can put from the beginning or put gradually while blending and looking what consistency you want. I used 2 cups of water.

On the top put fresh pear, corns, pickled beetroots and etc.

As always I made to much for my self to eat in one day. So used rest of soup for other recipes. In on day I ate with oven baked potatoes like source, and for other day mixed with rise noodles and other vegetables.


Have a good time. Never stop trying and tasting new recipes.

Food and more

I cook every day. I do breakfast, then something for lunch, to take to my job, and of course for dinner ( but it's hard to call this dinner, it's not usual big dinner as lot of people like to eat). My eating routine is different, I eat a lot at the morning and at the day, and very little or nothing at the evening ( just, because I come after work late). I am experimenting with food ( but not as much as I would like to).

I think that I have mentioned before, that I became vegetarian and working on becoming vegan. But don't be confused, if will find some recipes with meat. It's because I have some very good recipes and videos how to make them, for those who still eat meat, so I will put them some day. 

Returning to now days.
If anyone remembers, I showed picture of cup cakes not long time ago. And now I would like to post how I made them. So here you go:
1. Take 5 apples ( those you have and you like) Peel them, take of seeds and sutarkuoti with thin grater.

2. Put 4 spoons of corn flour.

3. Cin amon ( depending on how much you like it). I put 2 tabl. spoons

4. If you have sour apples, put something to sweet them. I recomend maple or agave syrup. I haven't used any of that, because I use sweet apples.

5. Mix everything, put the mass into formeles and bake.

Just because my oven is very old, I can't say exact temperature and time of cooking. But it took for me about 40 min. and I think, that 200 C will be enough.

If you want you can put chocolate on the top.



Vegetarian chili


3 weeks ago I put on Instagram a photo of vegetarian chili , which I made at home and I was asked to write a prescription. Specific quantities of what exactly put in it I can not write , I did it basing my imagination, "by eye " , as we say . So my advice would be : put as much as you want , it all depends on how many people you want to feed 


So there it comes:

  • Potatoes
  • Carrot
  • Green lentils
  • Can of chickpeas
  • Champignons
  • Red pepper
  • Chili pepper (depends on how hot you want it to be)
  • Tomato pasta
  • Salt
  • Spicy hot paprica

First, peel all the ingredients ( carrots, potatoes and pepper). Cut them in the chunks ( I cuted in cubes but you have free imagination). Chilli I cuted in to small rings and left with all seeds. Put potatoes, carrots in to boiling water and boil until they are soft, but not done yet. Then take out some of water you boiled you vegetables in, put all other ingredients (except champignons, I put them just before turning the heat of) and boil a little more, until all the flavors spray out.

Have a good appetit.

Pancakes

It is so nice (a little bit cold) evening today. After 20 min walk it's so good to eat pancakes. Especially if you do this after long time. I made them with buckwheat flour, no sugar.

Sunday was so dark and rainy, that I decided to nominate myself with ice-cream with fresh raspberries and corn coffee.
