Mum-of-22 Sue Radford shares ‘super easy’ dinner soup recipe for her brood – that always has the kids wanting seconds
GETTING 22 kids to eat their vegetables sounds like a never-ending nightmare requiring all the tricks in the book to sneak them into meals.
However, Sue Radford has revealed her dinner recipe was so delicious that her family begged for more.
The Radford family often shares a glimpse into their lives on Instagram where they’ve garnered over 535,000 followers.
Sue, 49, from Morecambe, Lancashire, was bombarded with requests for her soup recipe after she shared a video making it on their Instagram Stories.
“Veg soup boiling away [drooling emoji],” she wrote, alongside a photo.
Moments later she shared a clip showing the soup had become a rich orange colour once the vegetables had broken down.
Sue said the warming dish left her kids wanting a second helping.
“My soup has been so popular,” she said.
“All the older ones have put some in their containers for work tomorrow [laughing].
“Now me and hubby are taking some to bed to watch movies together, now that’s romance for you [laughing].”
Fans were impressed by the video and eager to know how to make the soup for themselves.
“Lots asking for the soup recipe, it’s so easy to make and so tasty,” Sue said.
“I put in potatoes, carrots, swede, sweet potato, onion, cabbage, two veg stock pots, and salt and pepper.
“I also put a bit of cream in too.
“You can just put in what you want really.”
The Radford family juggle their busy lives with a YouTube channel and their Channel 5 show 22 Kids and Counting.
Sue isn’t the only chef in the household as dad Noel’s tray bake recently left their TikTok followers’ mouths watering.
