No Chew III: Borscht

3 large beetroots, chopped into 1cm cubes
2 onions, chopped
2 sticks of celery, chopped
2 TBS of tomato paste
1 TBS veggie style stock powder
Oil
6 potatoes, chopped into 1cm cubes
2 cups of water
Salt to taste

Fry onion and celery in oil.  Add remaining ingredients and cook until the beetroot is soft.  Blend and serve.

Note: I would normally add cabbage, but due to COVID-19 I want to avoid going to the shops if at all possible and I didn't have any cabbage at home.

By the way, these beetroots were picked from my housemate's garden!

1/4 tsp sweet paprika

No Chew I: Creamy Zucchini!

So, you have just had some teeth removed and can't chew anything.  What are you going to eat?  Enter the No Chew recipes!  No Chew recipe no. 1 is Creamy Zucchini!

This one is without the potato.

Make the Zucchini Soup recipe and add about a dozen potatoes (depending on the size) to the pot.  Make it about 2/3rds zucchini and 1/3 potato.  Cook until the potato is soft, blend and serve.

Potatoes make the soup more substantial so that you do not get hungry as quickly after eating it.
