Chaya Onion Soup With Cassava Croutons.

Munchkin has sequestered herself in the kitchen to invent new recipes.

I said to Gnome:

“I’m not budging an inch from the kitchen!!”

He replied with:

“It’s okay my dear.  Nobody is moving you out of the kitchen.”

So everything is fine and I can go Munchkin Crazy in the kitchen spilling my creative juices and stuffing my face with fine yum-yums!!  Yay!!  The Joys of Being a Munchkin!

Anyway, today I have for you Chaya and Onion Soup with Cassava Croutons.

You’ll get the full recipe in the above link.  This is a quick walk through with nice pictures of food.

Ooooh…first of all.  Here’s a picture of my soup cauldron.  It is one of my most favourite possessions…

Chaya is a spinach which grows in Belize.  It is sometimes quite tough in texture but loaded with nutrients.  Blending chaya is a great way to get the best out of this vegetable:

Oh and cassava croutons are amazing.  Well, let’s face it…anything fried is rather good!!  Cut into crouton like cubes to mimic croutons:
