I haven't had that much fruit or veg so far today, so looking for a nice meal that consists of mostly veg, if anyone has any nice recipes? I've already had a main meal today as well so preferably nothing too heavy / calorific.

I have in the house...carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, red bell peppers, onions and peas. I also have chicken and turkey for meat :)

    I'd make a vegetable stew with the onions, sweet potatoes, peppers, carrots n parsnips.

    Quick recipe:

    Chop the onion finely, saute in some oil (add garlic at this point if you have it)
    Cut the other veg into small dice. Toss them amongst the golden onion to coat, then add some stock (veg, chicken, beef, it really doesn't matter)

    Turn the heat down low and let them simmer together for at least 30 mins. Check and see how soft the carrots are. Keep cooking until they are soft.

    Either serve as a chunky soup, or blend until smooth (serve with crispy bacon or prosciutto, or grated cheese. Maybe a blob of natural yoghurt or creme fraiche)
