Everyone has pots of soup on.....

according to my local FB mates:)

Funny how its the first thing you do when the weathers miserable.

Ive got split pea ,veg and chopped up franfurter soup on and it smell delish:)

Tattie and leek seems to be the fave so far....

Anyone else make soup for comfort/warming food and what do you make?

[pastafreak]

Because you know EXACTLY what's in it....the making and cooking is theraputic......the whole hose smells yummy.....because you did it yourself.......!

[pastafreak]

Yep ED....it's a bit like miso cup-a-soup.....
The real thing does sort of hit you .....lol

Cheers for that info Ed re Miso -i'll avoid ordering on-line now and yes i'm sure he would like red :).I'll try it myself I didnt realise how popular it was.

(only joking about Gillian btw -how minging lol)

Also, making soup is fun!

[ummmm]

Fun...and so easy. It's more effort carrying a can home from the shop..!

[NazNomad]

You have to remember though ... some people can burn water, lol.

[pastafreak]

And if you make it...you can scoff the lot....lol

[AB Editor]

Oh, as we're likely to have more snow, this thread is sticky for 3 days (unless something better than soup turns up of course!)

[NazNomad]

Something better than soup?


Well I guess we COULD hold out for the free-sex thread ...but I won't hold my breath. :-))

[ummmm]

I'm going to look for a rack of lamb for todays dinner. It would help if I could find my purse...

[DTCwordfan]

the casserole sounds good - will try and get out later as it has been very icy around here but provisions and wine needed.....beetroot soup sounds good to - ot maybe a French Onion, (with lots of toasted croutons and cheese)......thought about making a carb fest with tagliattelle, onions, bacon, leeks and baby toms in it, plus a hadful of italian pasta and a few good grinds of pepper...

I usually buy a cooked chicken from Tesco and use the carcas to make a stock for chicken soup.

[AB Editor]

And even then Naz, I would have to remove it from the Food & Drink section...

I think it will have to be soup and bread tonight, with lots of butter.

This is the problem with this section - I've not even come close to lunch and now I am thinking about what to have for dinner!

Spare Ed
