Notes:

• This recipe is from my sister-in-law, who sold it to her kids as potato soup with green food colouring, aka Ninja Turtle soup. Her kids loved it; mine were not so easily convinced! Good luck.
• The soup is very tasty and relatively low fat åÐ thick and creamy without the cream.
• Recipe created by Melissa Hughes for Kidspot.
