SILVERBEET & POTATO SOUP
Admission. This soup I made before I started to think about the blog so there are no ‘process’ photos. But I think the colour is awesome. This soup came about as a bit of a mystery. I’ve started ordering “Couples boxes” of mixed seasonal fruit and veg from Aussie Farmers Direct. (http://www.aussiefarmers.com.au). Each week the box’s content varies, depending on the best crops/harvests/whatever, and I find it’s a great way to push out of my comfort zone and discover new veggies and recipes (enforced learning curve).

In the box comes a list of ingredients...
And it
was through process of elimination I discovered a leafy, spinachy thing was
in fact Silverbeet. Good old Google led me to a host of Silverbeet recipes, but
based on what was in the cupboard, I decided on a creamy Silverbeet and Potato one, similar to this http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/22642/creamy+silverbeet+soup.
It’s quite thin despite being predominantly potato and is slightly salty. Make
sure you check your smile in the mirror after eating it – those little green bits have a
tendency to take hold and stay there.
