FRUGAL LIVING 🌿Country vegetable soup WW 2 recipe🌿

Welcome back to Wildwood Cottage! In today's video, we are making a wholesome, budget-friendly Quick Vegetable Soup inspired by the wartime cookbook "We'll Eat Again". This hearty, rustic soup makes great use of root vegetables and kitchen staples without any food waste—using leek tops, grated veggies for quick cooking, and added red lentils for extra protein and texture. Thickened simply with wholemeal flour and milk, it’s comforting, nutritious, and very cheap to make! 🍲 Quick Wartime Vegetable Soup Recipe Ingredients: • 1 lb (approx. 450g) mixed vegetables (carrot, potato, swede/parsnip, and leek tops) • 3/4 cup red lentils (for protein) • 1 pint hot water / vegetable stock • 1/2–1 tsp Marmite (or vegetable yeast extract) • 2 tsp mixed dried herbs • 1 tsp garlic powder / granulated garlic • 1/2 tsp black pepper • Salt to taste • 2 tbsp wholemeal flour (mixed with a splash of water/stock) • 1–2 tbsp milk Instructions: Grate the carrot, swede, and potato so they cook quickly and evenly. Finely slice the leek greens. Place all vegetables and the red lentils into your multi-cooker or soup pot. Pour in 1 pint of hot water/stock, stir in the Marmite, mixed herbs, garlic, and black pepper. Cook on the soup setting (or simmer gently) for about 20 minutes until tender. In a small cup, mix 2 tablespoons of wholemeal flour with a little water/hot stock until smooth. Stir into the soup. Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of milk and simmer for another 2 minutes until nicely thickened. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and serve warm with crusty homemade bread.
