This soup doesn’t look too pretty, but it has it all. It’s cheap, filling, healthy and simple to make. You could throw in any other odd veggie you have floating around the fridge. This recipe works wonderful for meal prep and also a quick dinner solution.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 6 generous serving / 0.60 EUR per serving / 3.61 EUR for all)

4 tbsp olive oil (0.18 EUR)

2 onions (0.20 EUR)

6 garlic cloves (0.20 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp dried basil (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp ground coriander (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

Good pinch of dried red pepper flakes (0.03 EUR)

1 bay leaf (0.01 EUR)

3 large potatoes (0.30 EUR)

2 cups precooked chickpeas (0.53 EUR)

2 tbsp dried parsley (0.27 EUR)

6 cups of water (–)

1 bag of frozen broccoli (1.60 EUR)

METHOD:

Wash, peel and chop up the vegetables. Add olive oil to a large pot and sauté onion for about five minutes, until slightly translucent. Throw in fresh garlic and garlic powder, basil, coriander, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes and bay leaf. Stir and cook for a minute until spices get fragrant. Add in potatoes, chickpeas and parsley. Cover everything with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer with a lid cracked open for 20 minutes, until potatoes are almost done. Now add in broccoli and cook for additional 10 minutes until the broccoli is cooked through.

Remove the pot from heat and fish out and discard the bay leaf. If you want some texture in the soup, set a bit of the chunky stuff aside. Attack the rest with an immersion blender and puree until smooth. Stir back the reserved chunky bits into your soup and serve hot.

Ova juha baš i nije nešto pretjerano vizualno primamljiva, ali jednostavno ima sve. Jeftina je, zasitna, zdrava i jednostavna za pripremiti. U nju možete slobodno ubaciti još pokoje povrće koje vam se povlači po frižideru, a ovaj recept će jednako dobro funkcionirati ako si želite spremiti ručak unaprijed, ili jednostavno napraviti brzu večericu.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 6 izdašnih porcija / 4,49 kn po porciji / 26,93 kn za sve)

4 žlice maslinovog ulja (1,32 kn)

2 luka (1,50 kn)

6 češnjeva češnjaka (1,50 kn)

1 žličica čenjaka u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žličica sušenog bosiljak (0,50 kn)

1 žličica korijandera u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

Dobar prstohvat sušenog čilija u pahuljicama (0,25 kn)

1 lovorov list (0,10 kn)

3 velika krumpira (2,25 kn)

2 šalice kuhanog slanutka (4,00 kn)

2 žlice sušenog peršina (2,00 kn)

6 šalica vode (–)

1 vrećica smrznute brokule (12,00)

PRIPREMA:

Operite, ogulite i nasjeckajte povrće. U velikom loncu na maslinovom ulju dinstajte luk oko pet minuta dok ne bude staklast. Ubacite unutra svježi češnjak, češnjak u prahu, bosiljak, korijander, sol, papar, čili i lovor. Dobro promiješajte i kuhajte oko minutu, samo da začini zamiriše. Dodajte krumpir, slanutak i peršin, sve zalijte vodom i pustite da zavrije. Smanjite vatru i ostavite da se krčka sa odškrinutim poklopcem oko 20 minuta, da krumpiri budu skoro pa gotovi. Sada ubacite i brokulu te kuhajte još 10 minuta, sve dok brokula ne bude kuhana.

Maknite juhu s vatre i ispecajte van i bacite lovorov list. Ako želite dodatnu teksturu u juhi, dio gustih komadića izdvojite na stranu za kasnije. Ostatak napadnite štapnim mikserom i pulsirajte dok ne bude glatko. Umiješajte natrag u juhu ono što ste sačuvali sa strane i poslužite vruće.
