Super Soup!
In DT this term we have been learning about seasonality and eating seasonal vegetables in the UK. The children have discussed different kinds of soup that they like and designed their own soup. Today we made and ate our own Creamy potato and vegetable soup! We learnt 2 different techniques to chop food safely - the claw method technique and the bridge technique. The children all had a go at chopping either celery, leek or potato.
All of the children tried the soup and most of them loved it - coming up for seconds until it was all gone! Well done Silver Birch!
Recipe:
A lot of the children said they would like to make the soup at home! Here is the recipe if you'd like to give it a try. Enjoy!
