Ingredients

Peppers

Cabbage

Celery

Leeks

Beans

Anything that is green

Large onion

Four cloves of garlic

Apple juice

Bouillon

Apple chutney / vegan pesto

Sunflower seeds

Method

Get the GREEN things together. Cut them all up and just put them into a saucepan.

Add about a litre of apple juice and a heaped dessertspoon of Swiss Bouillon Powder. Partly cover and put over a lowish flame or low heat for ... what? … about an hour?

Look at it and taste it: add black pepper and the rest of a jar of old apple chutney that needs finishing.

Whizz it in a blender: taste again. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. (I like cumin and asafoetida and sometimes a chunk of ginger so do add anything that needs eating up from the fridge and the cupboard.)

Taste again: it is heavenly.

Serve with sunflower seeds.
