Text and translation

I tried a new soup recipe last night. I bought fresh vegetables on my way home. My neighbour gave me a large cooking pot. I followed the instructions and added less salt. The soup took forty minutes to cook. I made enough for dinner and lunch the next day.

جربت وصفة حساء جديدة ليلة أمس. اشتريت خضراوات طازجة في طريقي إلى المنزل. أعطاني جاري قدرًا كبيرًا للطهو. اتبعت التعليمات وأضفت كمية أقل من الملح. استغرق طهو الحساء أربعين دقيقة. أعددت كمية تكفي للعشاء وغداء اليوم التالي.
