Soup

[Dris]

Im off to open a tin of pea and ham (prefer home made) -cant beat it with a big stick:)

[ummmm]

No...homemade. My cousin was raving about it. Felt a bit embarrassed to give her the recipe. So easy but really tasty...

[Dris]

I'll have the recipe though please :)

[zzxxee]

i had a heinz cumberland sausage and veg soup last night lovely x

[Dris]

O are those the ones in the polystyrene pots zee? Ive had them and theyre delish:)

[janbee]

Just made a pot of broccoli and mature cheddar cheese soup.Lovely... It's definitely soupy weather isn't it. ?

[ummmm]

Ok...honestly try it even if it does seem too simple. I used Parmesan as I had it in the fridge..but I'm sure you can use any cheese.

Fry one small onion
Add a large head of broccoli, cut into florets (I peeled and used the stalks as well)
1 pint (app) of veg or chicken stock

Boil...

Blend and add seasoning. Then add cheese to taste. Just a bit at a time.

I served with a swirl of cream and sprinkled it with chilli powder

Told you it was easy. Very tasty though..

[Dris]

Im gonna make potato and leek today -quite fancy that.
Im interested about the soups with cheese though -they sound ace and something ive never tried.Recipe please:)

[Dris]

ta for that ummm -ive got all the ingredients as well -scrub the tattie and leek -i'll try that tonight:) I'll let you know how I get on.
Janbee -i love soup but like you its definitely soup wether -cant beat it !

[janbee]

the recipe for brocolli and cheddar soup is very similar to the one that ummm has given you for parmesan. Onion, white stock(I use veg) a potato and then when it's all boiled up, blend and add the grated cheese (MUST be mature and MUST be good quality otherwise it may be greasy) to taste. I add quite a bit of cheese as I like it that way. Gaun yirsel hen.. it's braw !!

[Dris]

aw cheers Janbee -nice wan ;)
