Green Marrow and Leek Soup

Hi all! 

The sky's been pretty grey these few days and I have been craving for something warm to fill my tummy. The key word's soup, but what soup should I make? I had wanted to try a zucchini and leek soup, but zucchinis are not easily found here in Singapore. Cracking my brain for a substitute, I decided to substitute zucchini to green marrow, one of my favourite vegetables.

Green marrow, or we Chinese call it as 毛瓜, is low in calories and has no fat nor cholesterol. It is also commonly found in the supermarkets in Singapore. Not only is it affordable, it has high amounts of vitamin A, vitamin C, dietary fibre, calcium and iron! Talk about hitting two birds with one stone.

This soup is light and quenching, perfect for a cool day. Try it out, and let me know in the comments below how you find it!

Ingredients:

75 g Leek (Roughly chopped)

500 g Green marrow (Cubed)

500 g Water 

10 g Oil 

40 g Cashew Nut, Lightly roasted

1/2 tsp Salt

Hello all!

It's been a long time since I last updated my blog, I sincerely apologise. There is so much to do and I have so much to share but I didn't have the time. I always forget to take pictures and write down the steps. My daughter, Yi-Lin, has promised to help me update this blog with more recipes and to keep it alive.  She is passionate about using Thermomix to cook all sorts of yummy dishes and will join me in doing this business.

Yi-Lin and I have come up with and tested many dishes, and together we will document it here for all to share. We will try to make it easy for all to follow the recipes; using videos, pictures and simple words.

Cooking with Thermomix is really easy and fun, so stay tune for more recipes coming up!
