Eat food, drink wine, cook with Thermomix
This is one of my all-time favourite soups, not only because it carries the sentimental value of having been Thermomix demonstration soup recipe for UK Thermomix, but because I just love the way the red pepper taste blends with the tomato. And the pinch of cayenne pepper really lifts the whole soup. You can optimise the use of your Thermomix by steaming meat and vegetables in the Varoma while your soup cooks for up to 30 minutes before blending.
This is a great mid-week family meal that won’t cost an arm and a leg. You can either steam the chicken thighs with their skin and then crisp them up under the grill or remove the skin for a lower fat version that will be just as tasty.
To take full advantage of this under-utilised part of your best friend in the kitchen, why not make an all-in-one healthy steamed meal? Here’s a template you can use to adapt whatever you like and whatever you have in the fridge.
This recipe brings out the best of our Best Friend in the Kitchen’s functions with a sauce (chopping, sautéing, and cooking) and of the mussels themselves, delicately steamed in the Varoma.
The gentle stirring of Thermomix allows for fat-free sautéing and stewing, preserving all the tastes of your ingredients. Add some potatoes and you’ve got a fat-free all-in-one Varoma meal.
