    Roast Capsicum Soup

    4 red capsicum
    2 tomatoes
    1 red onion
    2 sticks celery
    2 cloves garlic
    Olive oil
    Dried basil and oregano
    Salt, pepper and chilli flakes to taste
    Tomato paste
    500mls vegetable stock (I find Massel brand the best)

    Roughly chop veggies, drizzle with oil, sprinkle on herbs and season. Roast for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Cool slightly, blend in batches. Add to pot with stock, bring to boil and add small amounts of tomato paste for richness to suit taste. Serve with crusty bread.

    Carrot and Coriander Soup

    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 brown onion diced
    3 sticks celery diced
    3 cloves garlic crushed
    1kg carrots
    Birds eye chillis (optional),
    3 tablespoons ground coriander seeds
    2 tablespoons ground cumin
    1 tablespoon ground tumeric
    Salt and pepper
    Approx 500mls veggie stock (again Massel brand) you only need enough to just cover the veggies in the pot so it can vary
    1 bunch roughly chopped coriander leaves and root (approx a cup)
    200mls cream

    Roughly chop all veggies and sautee in oil. Add spices, frying until fragrant. Add stock, bring to boil and simmer for 30 minutes or carrot is tender.

    Cool a little before blending with coriander in batches. Return to pot, gently heat and stir through cream. Do not boil as it spits every where.

    Those are my 3 favourites. but I often make heaps of veggie stir fries, curries, broth soups, frittatas etc if you'd like one of these recipes let me know also have a Vietnamese Noodle Salad recipe but too long to type.

    Will add this disclaimer:
    ALL measurements are approximate, I make it up as I go along. I hope they're not too way off!

    Spinach and Feta Triangles

    You can use either filo (which I find fidly) or puff pastry for these
    3 cups shredded spinach (if fresh and uncooked) or 1 cup frozen (squeeze all the water out)
    1 tablespoon onion flakes
    1/2 block feta cheese crumbled
    1/2 tub cream cheese
    pepper to taste (salt if you like, but feta is salty)
    If using filo you will need melted butter


    Mix all ingredients until well combined. If using filo, brush each sheet with butter and layer till you have 5 layers.
    Cut pastry into squares of desired size (mini ones or bigger ones, etc) and fold into a triangle, sealing edges.
    Bake in a moderate oven until golden.

    Pumpkin and Feta salad

    2 cups diced pumpkin
    1/2 a large sweet potato diced
    1 bag of baby spinach leaves washed
    1/2 block of feta crumbled

    Dressing
    1/4 tea sesame oil
    1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
    4tabs olive oil
    2 tabs red wine vinegar
    brown sugar to taste to balance

    Drizzle veges with a little olive oil and toss to coat. Roast till tender. Allow to cool slightly.
    Combine all dressing ingredients and mix well.
    Combine veges, spinach and feta and toss dressing over.

    I have also made a version of this with roasted fresh beetroot instead of other vegies and also made it with quinoa and left out the feta.
