Any experience as a supplement for high blood pressure?

Get yourself a soup maker Politics nerd? They're great for using up odds and ends of veg and with only the additives you choose.

Already there Aveline, but I'm cooking less these days so am aware that planning ahead will be useful as would having some items I, or a carer, could take out a use if the need came. And sometimes I just like an easy but tasty meal that requires no thought!

My biggest problem is that I can't use onions. I can use the green part of leeks or spring onions - I freeze them and pass the white parts on to friends. Having something that is certified means it's very easy for someone else if needed.

I just hoped someone had come across the brand.

Soupmaker (Morphy Richards) -

Tomato and beetroot soup ready in 21 minutes

1 packet shrink-wrapped cooked beetroot, roughly chopped (include the juice)
A mug or two of passata (or a chopped onion, a couple of tomatoes and a squeeze of tomato puree)
Water to max level

Stir

Soupmaker on smooth option.

Serve with cubes of feta

You could replace the onion with the green bits of spring onions or leeks.

Aveline

Here's a pic of the back of the packet. Nutritional info etc on there.

Many thanks

That's what I use them for Elegran. I can get low fodmap certified onion infused oil too but it's very expensive. This was me just looking for something to have on standby.

Thanks. I actually loathe beetroot itself so a supplement might be better for me
