Today, in celebration of Bonfire Night, we decided to prepare a warming soup to share with our class. We prepared the vegetables in the morning (following the recipe for potato and leek soup used by last year’s Forest School Group) and in the afternoon, set about making the soup.
The fire took a while to establish, but before to long, we had a steady heat on which to cook our soup. Whilst the soup was cooking, we whittled sticks to use as skewers for the marshmallows which would follow the soup. We took it in turns to add ingredients to the soup and tend to the fire.
Once it was heated through and the vegetables had began to soften, we whizzed the soup up with our ingenious cordless blender.
Then it was time to summon the rest of the class come and join us. Over cups of thick warm soup we chatted about our plans for bonfire night and used the fire as inspiration for Michael Rosen style ‘hand on’ poems.
Whilst not everyone was a convert to the joys of Forest School soup, they were all game enough to try it and there were few who rejected our campfire s’mores desert!
