Kid friendly cabbage and tattie soup!

This was super yum with the addition of a couple of handfuls of broth mix and the quinoa at the end really thickened the soup and added a protein boost!  My son wanted to be in the picture I was taking for my blog ha ha he is so cute!  ❤️

Half a cabbage (fresh from my garden)

1 potato

to handfuls of broth mix (barley, split peas, rice, yellow lentils etc.)

two handfuls of quinoa

two small stock cubes (you could add whatever stock cubes you wish)

salt and pepper

Chop the cabbage and potato and season and cook for a few minutes in a splash of olive oil in the soup pan, add the desired water and stock cubes and the handfuls of broth mix…leave to simmer through until cooked through then add the two handfuls of quinoa and continue simmer until quinoa is cooked.  Purée if blender if desired!  My kids like it smooth so they can’t see and complain about the vegetables. 😊

One for the kids…make sure you have adult supervision as the machine can get pretty hot during the cook! 😳

So cheap to make and great fun for the kids to make in the popcorn machine… 😊

Pop a small handful of kernels into a popcorn machine, switch on – simple!  Drizzle with sweetener of choice, we use the fruit sweetener in the picture, honey, agave etc.

Eat and enjoy! 😀

Add all the ingredients in the smoothies, chop up if nessecary and top up with enough water to create the desired consistency!
