Creamy Vegetable Soup

Ingredients

1 packet Knorr Cream of Chicken soup
1 large garlic clove
2 medium carrots
100g Broccoli
100g Cauliflower
1 Leak
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup milk
3 cups hot water
¼ teaspoon coriander
¼ teaspoon mixed spice
1 tablespoon fresh Cream
1 teaspoon corn flour

Cut the vegetables and leak into medium size cubes. Crush the garlic. In a non- stick pot, fry the vegetables, leaks and garlic for five minutes or until tender(not fully cooked) (start with the cauliflower, carrot and then add others). Put the cream of chicken soup into a bowl and add the milk, spices and water and stir well. Pour the soup mixture into the pot with the vegetables and let it cook at medium temperature until the vegetables are cooked (10 min). Blend half of the contents (optional), and then mix with the other half and let to simmer for 5 minutes on low heat. This gives you a delicious soup with something to chew.

You can also blend the whole contents and the results are still fantastic. You can achieve the thickness you desire by adding more water. It’s a delicious serving; the cream of chicken soup gives a creamy yummy test and it’s delicious.

*Tip: My family craves for this soup on cold and rainy days and we have always enjoyed the warmth it brings even sitting around the fire.
