The root to feeding two teenagers as a single mum living on a budget

10/22/2017

When I was a single mum of two teenagers, I loved this time of year as it meant root vegetables were cheap again.  I'd buy a pack of mixed root vegetable for a £1 add some potatoes and make loads of root smash. ​

This meant I could get lots of goodness down them both and fill them up without spending a fortune.  Any leftovers would be made into soup by adding some stock cubes mixed with hot water (as per instructed on the packet).  This is still a great family favourite and both the mash and soup can be frozen and used at a later date.

Method:
  • Peel and chop all the vegetables and put them in a saucepan
  • Boil in water until they are nice and soft.  Here I added some sweet potatoes but you can add any type of potato you prefer.
  • ​Mash or blend together.

This side can be served with a variety of mains and is filling as well as full of goodness.

​Alternatively add some stock and make a great soup.
