Vegetable Soup

The children of Gorseland and Kudawella Schools have joined together in a project to make vegetable

soup and share their recipes. They visited their local markets and bought the vegetables needed to

make their soup. Then they were straight into the kitchen to start scrubbing, peeling, dicing and boiling.

Look at the pictures below to see if you can spot the similarities and the differences in the way we cook?
