Veggie diet

GARETH SAYS…

It is expensive being a meat eater so I’m now pretty much vegetarian. We have been making loads of great soups – cream of broccoli, squash, pea and mint – and they have been great. To make enough for an evening meal and have enough left over for lunch next day I’m spending between $8 and $10 on ingredients. You can’t beat a good soup when you are trying to save.

Here’s a quick recipe for Squash soup…

Fry an onion and a clove of chopped garlic
Stir in a teaspoon of cumin and chilli flakes
Chuck in a chopped carrot
Chuck in a box of frozen squash (it is cheaper than fresh)
Tip in 750ml of vegetable stock
Cook
Blend in a food mixer
Return to heat
Season
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil on top and a slice of toast

An alternative source of meat is to do the grad student trick: attend as many pointless seminars and meetings as possible - they usually serve up some food. Apparently I have a talent for sniffing out pepperoni pizza ...

Hello Hannah

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure if it will be your readers cup of tea though. Too much fucking swearing.
