I recently put fennel tops in my bone broth and it gave it a beautiful subtly sweet fennel flavour. Totally optional but that is what inspired this soup. 

Rough recipe (very rough): 
I started with a soffritto of onion, carrot and celery, sauteed in olive oil for about 15 minutes. Added a couple of cloves of garlic, a pinch of fennel seeds and a pinch of cumin.

Then in went my homemade broth, chickpeas (soaked overnight and pressure cooked for 10 minutes) and some leftover roasted sweet potato. You could also use raw sweet potato, just simmer until soft.

I gave the soup about 6 quick pulses with my immersion blender to thicken it slightly while keeping it chunky (the whole point!)

Finished with finely chopped kale, lid on for 5 minutes until wilted.

Absolutely doing that again.

A really good beef burger recipe to have in your back pocket when you have a packet of beef mince. I use an offal blend from @thefoodfarmau which means there is some organs like beef liver inside the mix. 

If you have one takeaway from this video, let it be to reduce reliance on supermarkets, particularly for meat. We have incredible small and local regenerative farms available to us. People doing the right thing. And therefore better quality meat and more healthy of you. 

Beef Burgers
1 kg beef mince
1 medium onion, finely chopped (or 2 shallots)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 eggs
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp dried oregano (or finely chopped fresh oregano)

Add everything to a bowl and mix until just combined. Shape into patties, then cook in a hot pan or on the BBQ until browned and cooked through. Makes around 16 patties (or 8 if you halve it). 

I usually have these as a grab and go snack or meal (mum life often means I need a meal that is one handed and standing up/ I can eat while playing). I even eat them cold! But equally, they are great reheated to make a yummy lunch that will really fill you up. Then of course, great kids meal. Add some chopped vegetables, some mayo and done.
