For tea tonight I made soup from the leaves of my beetroots and it was a huge hit - even the children loved it. Has anyone tried it? if not please give it a go - it's packed with goodness:- Melt a knob butter in a saucepan, rinse and chop the leaves and stalks, put them in the pan and gently cook until soft. Add your stock (I used chicken stock) and cook until the stalks are soft, which took about 5 mins. then liquidise. A little salt and pepper 'to taste' and scrummy - how simple is that? !!!!!

Looks like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes mmmmmmmmmmm.

If you do not post any information on the batch website, we would have to assume you did not survive!
