Parsley Soup
Serves four

Ingredients

3oz/75g butter

2 big bunches flat-leaf parsley, washed, stalks and leaves separated, stalks chopped (if flat-leaf is difficult to obtain, use the curly type instead)

1 large potato, peeled and chopped

1½ pints/725ml light vegetable stock

salt and pepper

5floz/250ml double cream

Method
1. Melt the butter in a stainless-steel or enamelled saucepan and gently sweat the parsley stalks, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

2. Add the potato and the vegetable stock, salt and pepper and simmer, still uncovered, for a further 20 minutes.

3. Coarsely chop the leaves of one bunch of parsley and add to the soup. Simmer for 2 minutes. Blanch the remaining leaves in fiercely boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and refresh immediately under cold running water, then gently squeeze dry in a tea towel. Liquidise the soup with the blanched parsley to make a vivid green puree.

4. Pass through a fine sieve into a clean pan, add the cream, reheat and adjust the seasoning.

Dont use exact quantities but will give the basics.
Fry some chopped bacon,onions garlic clove and tomatoes until tender.
Sprinkle in flour to make a roux.
Gradually add chicken stock(or veg if you want) till semi-thick.
Add tin of tomatoes and a some tom puree.
Add some mashed potato to thicken, or cook some spuds in it and liquidise.

If you wanna cheat open tin of tomato soup and add some leftover mash.
Serve it cold with some cucumber and you have gaspacho.

Dont add potatoes leave it thicker and you have a nice sauce for meatballs.

As i think you can tell I waste NOTHING
Came from cooking in the army where we wasted nothing.
