Recipe

On a drizzly Melbourne autumn afternoon, the Geedel Vegetable Chopper effortlessly transforms yam and pear into snow-white and translucent shreds. Cooked with oats and milk into a warm sweet soup, it's the perfect light comfort for tea time—served with a cookie for complete cozy satisfaction.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

150g yam (peeled)

1 crisp pear (peeled)

40g instant oats

200ml pure milk

100ml water

15g brown sugar

1/8 tsp cinnamon powder

10ml light cream (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Shred the Yam: Container Design Prevents Mess & Sticking

After peeling, cut the yam into 3cm thick chunks. Place them into the processing chamber of the food chopper. Turn the handle clockwise 5 times, and the fine shreds will automatically collect in the container below. This container feature is incredibly practical: it prevents the sticky yam shreds from clinging to the counter and also reduces oxidation and darkening. This method saves about 4 minutes compared to using a standard cutting board. The shreds are uniform in thickness, cooking soft in just 3 minutes with no hard centers.

2. Shred the Pear: Gentle on Delicate Fruit

Peel the crisp pear and cut it into a 3cm long segment. Place it into the food-grade chamber of the manual vegetable chopper. Rotate 3 times to achieve 0.2cm thin strips. This tool is exceptionally gentle on soft fruits, unlike a knife which can squeeze out juices and crush the flesh. The pear shreds remain intact. Toss them with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. When added to the soup later, they release a natural sweetness, potentially reducing the need for extra sugar.

3. Simmer the Sweet Soup: Warming & Light

In a small pot, combine the water and oats. Cook for 5 minutes until thickened. Add the yam and pear shreds and cook for another 3 minutes. Pour in the milk, add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stir well, and heat for another 2 minutes before turning off the heat. Drizzle with light cream for garnish, if using.

Ladle into mugs. Holding a warm cup, take a sip—the creaminess of the yam, the sweetness of the pear, the richness of the milk, and the warm hint of cinnamon combine to chase away the autumn chill instantly.

It handles delicate pear shreds without bruising, perfectly meeting the prep needs for an autumn sweet soup.
