It’s soo cold here in London all of a sudden. Definitely time for soup which is my favourite time!
Last night I made broccoli, courgette and blue cheese soup with herb scones.
For the soup - sauté a chopped onion, add 1 chopped zucchini, 1 chopped head of broccoli and 1 chopped butternut squash (a small one). Cover with water and boil/simmer until soft. Add blue cheese to taste (I used 150g) and blend until smooth then reheat to serve.
For the scones, combine 3/4 cup wholemeal flour with a tablespoon of butter, 2 teaspoons of dried herbs, 1 teaspoon of dry mustard and a raising scent (I forgot and it still wasn’t bad!) like a teaspoon of baking powder in a food processor. Process until resembles breadcrumbs - you can rub the butter in by hand if you don’t have a food processor. Add enough milk to bring the dough together. Knead lightly on a floured board and shape into 2 large scones. Brush tops with milk and press pumpkin seeds on top. Bake at 200 for about 20 mins until browned and sound hollow when tapped.
