soup

[gina32]

going to make some soup,but cant decide which one, what recipe do you use?

Carrot and lentil.

3-4 carrots, sliced
a small onion, diced
3 1/2 oz red lentils
3/4 pint vegetable stock made with a stock cube
bay leaf
tablespoon vegetable oil

Lightly fry the carrot, onion and bayleaf in the oil, add the washed lentils and the stock and cook, covered with a lid for about 15-20 minutes, until carrots and lentils cooked. If you have a blender you can then blend it, pour into a clean pan, reheat and serve.
You can also add coriander at the end if you like.

Potato and leek, done in the slow cooker, made with more cream than is probably healthy.

This week I've made and frozen 6 different types but all of the recipes are from The Soup Bible-brilliant book for all soup occassions

Lentils for me - any veg I have available (cooked leftovers and uncooked), certainly carrots and onions and a potato or two with red lentils; I add bacon or ham bits or ham bone to improve the stock, cook for about 20 - 30 minutes then liquidise. Scrummy and a quick lunch on a cold day!

Sorry to "butt in" on your conversation - why not try what I do - especially in these days of tighter budgeting !!

1) Sunday, cook a lovely traditional roast chicken dinner. (With all the trimmings - of course !)
2) Monday, boil a nice big gammon joint.
(Does dinner & sandwiches too !)
3) Tuesday, make a chicken, ham & leek pie.
(Cheat -use Campbell's soup & Jus-roll pastry !)
4) Wednesday, do a big pot of soup - with the leftovers !!
(I use split red lentils to thicken it up - it's delicious !!)

3-4 Days eating, for around � 12 !! How Bad ?
