We’ve had an exciting time making and tasting soup today. It’s created a lot of chat and ideas.

First of all we explored the vegetables.  There were some that the children hadn’t seen before.

Isla-Grey thought the swede might be an avocado.  However, she knew that the second vegetable was a parsnip.  Well done Isla-Grey!

We then worked hard to chop the vegetables up.  Some of them were very hard.  We had to make sure that they were quite small.  The children had to find the big chunks that needed cutting smaller.

When the vegetables were ready we added some water and a stock cube.  Ivy N knew that we had to cook the vegetables to make them soft.

When they were cooked we blended them until the soup was smooth.

Well done to (nearly) all the children for tasting our homemade soup too! Some of them thought it was delicious!
