Simple starters: Spring onion soup

3 Ingredient spring onion soup
Print Recipe
I invented this soup after picking up 6 bunches of spring onion on the market for 2 euros. This left me looking for creative ways to use up this tasty vegetable. We like to eat it cold, but it also makes a good warm soup.

Print Recipe
A standard Dutch meal comprises of potatoes, vegetables and meat. My grandmother used to boil the potatoes and veg while frying the meat. I simplified this by cooking all ingredients in one baking sheet in the oven. While the oven does all the work, I have quality time with my sons.

  4. I like to line my oven tray with baking parchment, for easy washing up.
  5. On your oven tray, mix all ingredients. sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Make sure all ingredients have a thin coat of oil.
