    Half the Garden Soup:
    You don’t have to use all the veg mentioned here and quantities do not need to be precise either. Brilliant if you can get in 10 or more plants, but
    seven or eight is still great!
    Serves 4-6
    2 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
    4-5 banana shallots or 2 medium onions, chopped
    1 celery stalk, chopped
    1 large or 2 small-medium carrots, scrubbed or peeled and chopped
    1 leek, trimmed and sliced
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    A small bunch of chard, stems and leaves separated, stems chopped, leaves shredded
    2-3 medium beetroot, peeled and chopped fairly small
    A wedge of squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped fairly small, about 200g once prepped
    1 x 400g tin plum tomatoes, chopped, or about 400g fresh tomatoes, skinned and chopped
    A fistful of runner beans, de-stringed and roughly chopped, or French/green beans, de-stalked and
    chopped
    About 750ml veg stock
    A handful of cavolo nero and/or Russian kale leaves, removed from the stalks and shredded
    A couple of handfuls of peas, fresh or frozen
    1 tin borlotti or cannellini beans, drained
    Leaves from a couple of sprigs of thyme
    Extra virgin rapeseed or olive oil
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the shallots or onions and a pinch of salt,
    get them sizzling then turn down the heat and let them sweat for about 5 minutes. Add the celery, carrot, leek and garlic and sweat for about 10 minutes until the carrots are starting to become tender.
    Add the chopped chard stalks and the beetroot and squash. Add the tinned tomatoes now too, if
    using. Cook for about 10 minutes, then add the chopped runner or green beans. Stir and cook for
    another few minutes, then add the stock. There should be enough liquid to just cover the veg. Make
    it up with a little water if you need to. Increase the heat to bring to the boil, then reduce the heat
    and simmer for 10 minutes.
    Now add the shredded kale, the chard leaves, the peas and the tomatoes, and cook for a couple of minutes, until the leaves have wilted down. Finally, stir in the tinned beans and the thyme leaves and simmer for a couple of minutes more. Taste and add more salt, and some pepper,
    as needed.
    Serve straight away, ladled into bowls, with a trickle of extra virgin oil over each, or a good dollop of the Pestomega.
    Pestomega
    This glorious green mixture is rich with plant-based
    omega 3 oils (hence the name) and extremely delicious to boot. In this case I’ve doubled up the nuts/seeds, and the greens, and the oils, to make it a real multi-plant affair - a 10-planter no less.
    Serves 4 with pasta, 6-8 as a swirl or dressing for a soup or stew
    50g walnut pieces
    50g pumpkin seeds
    25g hulled hemp seeds (optional)
    50g flat leaf parsley leaves, plus some nasturtium or rocket leaves if you have them
    Leaves from a couple of sprigs of thyme
    A small bunch of chives, snipped
    1 small clove of garlic, roughly chopped
    50g Parmesan or vegetarian alternative, or Cheddar, finely grated, or 10g dried seaweed flakes,
    rehydrated in water (optional)
    Up to 150ml extra virgin olive oil and/or extra virgin rapeseed oil
    A squeeze of lemon juice, plus a grate of the zest
    Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    If you’ve got time, toast the nuts and seeds in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes
    to really boost their flavour and aroma. Leave to cool slightly.
    You can make this by hand, chopping everything as I have in the video, which gives you a chance to
    choose the texture and keep everything a bit more coarse. Chop the nuts and seeds first, to coarse
    crumbs, then the herbs and garlic, until they are all roughly chopped, then combine both together and chop some more. When you have the texture you like, transfer to a bowl, stir in the oil/s, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste, plus the zest.

    I'd love to see a version with a working class person, maybe a single Mum living in an inner city using all supermarket items and see what the cost is for them to make this soup, or similar. 20 to 25 different ingredients in a soup is a luxury no matter how cheap the beans or single ingredient. It's not a criticism of the eating plan itself, I eat similarly, just the cost involved and access issues for many.

    • @annwilliams6438
      @annwilliams6438 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      Just grab what you can and throw it into a soup. Even as simple as one legume (bean, pea, lentil etc), some type of leaf (kale, leak etc), and then some flavour (onions, garlic, tomatoes) and some type of starch (potatoes, corn) if you want it. The joy of soups is that you can pretty much do whatever you want with whatever is available.

      And yet spending £20 plus on a maccies meal most don't bat an eyelid. For £20 you can get masses of vegs, beans,lentils. It's just being bothered to make the effort to do it. The junk food industry is as buoyant as ever.

      I second this 200% because in every major supermarket you CANNOT BUY VEG LOOSE so if you want a good variety you have to buy multipack kilos of it and that means buying for about 10 not one or two.
      Also, how many households have a garden? None in cities or flats or student rooms.

    A note on sulforaphane: the enzyme (myrosinase) that converts glucoraphanin to sulforaphane is destroyed by cooking. Th enzyme is activated when we chew raw brocolli, but also when we chop it. So if we chop our veggies and let them rest about 40 minutes the conversion takes place. Cooking does not destroy the converted sulforaphane.

      @@joinZOE Actually, heating them more than 60 degrees damages the sulforaphane. Foundmyfitness described the best way. Place them in water for 10 mins at 60C. If you have sprouts they can tolerate 70C for 10 mins. Which substantially increases the sulforaphane (3-4 times). The higher you go above that and the longer, the more it gets destroyed. I grow the sprouts, which are FULL of much more sulforaphane than the florets and then heat the sprouts for 10 mins at 70 to tripple that already high amount! If you just cook them as @erobtelus described you will not get good results.

    That’s the style of soup I always made for my kids and their friends, but the sarcastic bunch always referred to it as Mums Stew, in fact they still do. We used to all sit around the fire pit on a Friday night then a musical interlude with the boys on their guitars.

      Indeed. Always been a huge Hugh fan, ever since his 'cook on the wild side' days. Oh how I wanted my own Gastrowagon! 😂 Even entered the comp to win it lol
      I'd been travelling round the country myself and had to stop just before it aired, so it was right up my street (pun totally intended).
      River cottage fed my desire to eventually have my own smallholding as well, but unfortunately ill health put paid to that dream, altho I've been as self-sufficient as I can without going the whole hog (again, intended). Which is one of the reasons that I'm doing Zoe now, and up pops Hugh again! Crazy how he's sort of been there in the background of my last 30yrs, foodwise.
      Looking forward to more of his recipes for Zoe.

    In terms of expense as mentioned below, one can easily reduce the number of vegetables to a more budget friendly version. I was inspired by the idea of this soup. I wouldn't feel like I had to include exactly all the vegetables mentioned here, every time I make it. Starting with some carrots celery, broth, can of tomatoes, beans, leaks, onions and a bag of spinach. Add in some frozen corn and green beans if you need a grocery friendly option. That is a good start for a soup, and you could make a big batch and freeze this. Then add in other ingredients as your budget or your garden allow. I think this is genius!

    I want Hugh's house. I want Hugh's garden. Instead I have to shop at Aldi where kale, let alone 2 types of kale, is available. Thanks to Brexit even less fresh fruit and vegetables that are affordable are even on shelves. This video shows some great recipes but it mostly shows the strong correlation between middle class/upper class wealth and access to better quality, fresh food in Britain. Ah to be born from landed gentry, and Etonian and Oxford educated. Any middle class cooks living on working class incomes out there Zoe?

    Great to see HFW give us actual Zoe recipes. As I was only making the soup for one ( and some leftovers) I only needed tiny amounts and managed to get to 26 including some extra herbs and spices. Carefully removing just one outside layer of a red cabbage (had no beetroot) meant I could leave the rest of it in the ground and keeping the last few courgettes in the fridge wrapped in kitchen paper, lets me just use a half or less. Frozen leek, onion, spinach and green beans meant no waste and my stock was made from chicken thighs from the weekend. It was very tasty.

    A word of caution: I developed gut issues on a high fibre diet. If you notice that you're constipated, bloated, gassy, take it easy with the fibre. Usually, when you're constipated, the advice is to eat more fibre, drink more water, etc, but it could actually worsen your symptoms and even cause SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). The root cause of these problems is not the healthy food, obviously, but many people already have underlying issues (slow gut motility due to undiagnosed hypothyroidism, for example, but there could be many other issues). If you then eat this much fibre, you're going to overwhelm your digestive system. First, you'll have to solve your underlying issues and then increase the fibre in your diet gradually.

      Zoe is a business. Tim Spector isn't trying to help us, he's trying to help himself get richer than he ever dreamt of back when he did real academic work. Write to him and ask why his books are not available in free e-book versions. If the goal is to help rather than to make money, surely he would not demand money in order to share his precious insights.
      @Tim: Will you commit to making sure any future books on the topic of nutrition will be made freely available in electronic form? If not, why not?
      @Zoe: Will you become transparent and tell everyone exactly how much money you are making from the business? Both Zoe as an organization and the top 20 individuals with the concrete amounts? By this I mean you make these facts as disoverable as your science content and nutritional advice content, publishing a video for instance each quarter and presenting your revenue and how it is spent and distributed to various parties. If your mission is what people commenting on this video seem to believe it is, to improve people's health and make their lives better, seeing that you are just making a good living, not turning nutrition advice into big business, would really help your credibility and make it easier for skeptics like me to think your advice might not be designed mainly to lock me in to your system, and only secondarily to make me healthy and happy.

    Heartily recommend using an electric pressure cooker for dishes like this. Way more fuel efficient, at least half the cook time, needs less additional fluid and relies more on the liquid present in the vegetables.

    Nice. Hugh, I have your River Cottage Fermentation (NO.18) Book. It is brilliant. Could you not add a couple of fermented vege's after cooking the soup on top of the pesto? I eat two meals a day and always have around 6 tbsps of 2 different type of ferments with each meal. I feel like I am missing major nutrition without my daily ferments. Do a Zoe on your ferments also. Great video, thanks.

    No need to saute those veg at the beggining - they're healthier just cooked in the stock.
    Scotch broth is also a great, simple way of getting these good things into you with very little prep. My granny's recipe is a pack of broth mix (rinsed) with a chopped leek, chopped carrot, chopped potatoes and parsley. Cover with 2-3 litres of water and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and leave to cook for 1 1/2 hours.
    I like to add a couple of skinned chicken thighs which I remove at the end and shred the chicken meat to add back in - means you get the advantage of the extra protein and some bone broth in there.
    Super simple and makes enough that we can eat it for lunch for 2-3 days and freeze half for the next week!

    Why de-seed the tomatoes? The seeds themselves are tiny and in the scale of this soup are going to add or take away nothing in flavour, nor texture, certainly less noticeable than hemp kernels, but looking at tomato seeds, as they separate from the flesh, are surrounded in a gelatinous soluble fibre coat - surely a boost to the nutrients for your microbiome.

    Would be great to see a collaboration with a more pragmatic food activist like Jack Monroe or Jamie Oliver. While I personally got some ideas from this video I think accessing this diversity of vegetables would be unrealistic for some people. We have a small, local Sainsbury's and there is often a very limited selection there. It's great to present plants in their glorious diversity but change is unlikely for many people if they feel sourcing ingredients for example depends on a garden or lovely food retailer.

      Alliums are cheap, chard is so productive you will be glad to use as much as possible, the point also of the video was that you can use a variety of different vegetables and don't need to use exactly the same ones. You could use cabbage instead of kale, you can use the leaves of a head of cauliflower. If you don't have fresh herbs, use dried. The oil is probably one of the more expensive ingredients, extra virgin oils aren't cheap.

    All great if you have a huge cottage and a garden as big as 5 allotments. How can I make this with no garden and only a small Tesco as my source. I also live on my own so what do I do with all the waste? This seems so unreal, a sort of middle class phantasy that probably only relates to a small elite who enjoy the circumstances of wealth. With 29 plants it would cost more than £29 to source all the ingredients. This just adds to the real divide between those who can afford to be healthy and those who are becoming more aware of and anxious about the severe lack of control we have over such an essential as our own diets.
