KwAcKy'S Cookery Class

OK, I lie, I'm no cook, but I do make a mean soup. Tonight I experimented and came up with my Sweet Chilli and Mushroom Soup

You need:
200g chestnut mushrooms
2 large sweet chillies (red)
4 medium potatoes
2 medium onions
Butter
Milk
Vegetable stock.
Salt
Pepper
Garam Masala (for some extra flavour)

Finely chop the onions. Place a large knob of butter (enough for the onions) in a saucepan and start to melt on a low temperature. Throw in the onions and allow them to simmer in the butter for about 10 minutes.

While the onions are getting a butter bath, peel and chop the potatoes, slice the mushrooms and the sweet chillies and make 1/2 litre of vegetable stock.

Once the onions are done, pour in 1/2 litre of milk and 1/2 litre of vegetable stock, add the potatoes, chillies and mushrooms. Add some salt and pepper. Allow the soup to briefly boil up (which it'll do quickly because of the milk) and then leave to simmer for 30 minutes. If you want to add the garam masala, do it just after the soup boils. After 30 minutes, blend it. You can either leave it for another 30 minutes or eat it now if you're hungry.

Enjoy. I did :-)
