Two of my girls will eat a toasted cheese sandwich for lunch every day of the week, if I let them. The other has developed a bit of a thing for 'shoop'.
"What's for lunch today, Pearl?"
"Shoop."
It's not fancy grown-up shoop, overnight-soaked or slow-simmered. It's whatever's in the fridge, last-night's leftovers, quick and easy shoop.
We usually peel a carrot, a potato and some sweet potato, diced large, and saute it in a saucepan with some celery and garlic, diced small. Chicken stock is added, about 500ml, and some sliced green beans. When the vegies are tender - about 10-15 minutes - we throw in last night's leftover pasta or rice or noodles, some chopped chicken, if there's any, and a handful of frozen peas.
And that's it. Shoop.
Easy. Nutritious. Apparently quite tasty.
Love it.....that is my 2 year old all wrapped up!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous - wish my 2 would eat 'shoop'
ReplyDeleteI agree that soup is delicious. My youngest would eat cereal every single day for every single meal!
ReplyDeletegreer, this HAS to be one of my favourite posts from you :)
ReplyDeleteahh, shoop! this is too gorgeous. one of my guys will only eat a salad plate. he loves kincumbers the best.
ReplyDeleteAren't your girls good eaters! I would be ecstatic if Angus ate a spoonful of this, he refuses to eat ALL veggies at the moment. It looks delicious, I have to say. And yay to cheese toasties seven days a week. x
ReplyDeleteHello....I notice Pearl in the piccis, but any Stellie??? How fortuitous you write about soup today - we had pumpkin,carrot & bacon soup last night and Olive ate 3 bowls full! Ah, our Pearlie, she's a champ! xxx
ReplyDeleteFifth photo down, those are Stella's hands! She eats the shoop too, just slightly against her will, and only the beige bits x
DeleteI wish Baby C would eat shoop. Or soup. Or anything other than porridge!
ReplyDeleteI totally get it....I love "shoop" too!!! (a much better name than Refrigerator slop; I think I'll change our name)
ReplyDeleteYum, that shoop looks delish! My boy went through a phase of only wanting cheese toasties. He won't go near them now! x
