zigzag Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 We are making soup tomorrow, now in the past when we have made this at harvest time not a huge amount of children have eaten it. We are making it tomorrow to be part of our 'S' sound activites along with sandwiches and sausage roll snakes. Has anyone got a tried and tested recipe that the children may actually want to try? :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueFinanceManager Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Leek and tattie always a winner in our house; This recipe serves one so just multiply it up; For the soup 50g/2oz unsalted butter ½ onion, finely sliced ½ leek, trimmed and chopped ½ potato, peeled and chopped 150ml/4½fl oz hot vegetable stock For the leek and potato soup, heat the butter in a pan and sauté the onion and leek until softened. Add the potato and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for ten minutes, or until the potato is tender. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour the soup into a blender and blend until smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well today we were given a giant leek from the local show, so guess which soup we are going to make? Children were fasinated as the leek, carrot and parsnip were taller than them!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 The soup was delicious, but still only two of the children ate it!! I think that one of the children had never seen soup before in his life as he had no idea how to eat it!! The staff appreciated the leftovers as we had a taxing morning building a Quadro fire engine!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Oh dear, Sunnyday is not going to be pleased I'm afraid. Right - now then has this been risk assessed? Seems to me we can't have smileys just rolling about all over the place - that has to be a trip hazard :blink: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 http://www.foodafactoflife.org.uk/attachments/91e7e0ed-e76f-493c90e95558.pdf This is a recipe for Green soup I've used with pre-school children. I particularly like the fact that ingredients are cut with scissors. Best results when whizzed with a blender when cooked. When I used a puppet to explain to the children that the puppet only liked green soup and could they make some for him, this got the best result with children wanting to try the soup. Find that some groups of children like soup and some don't. Agree that potato and leek was popular especially when drunk outside around the 'leafy bonfire' around bonfire night.
