Re: Soup
Made this last night for lunches this week https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg ... ottolenghi
Definitely recommend. The lentils make it really filling so you don’t need any bread . I love any spiced soup seems to add to the comfort in a bowl feeling

Re: Soup
That sounds lovely Amy - will give it a go soon.
Have you been in hospital yet - if so, hope all went well. If not - hope you get it over and done with soon.
On Saturday, I dug some parsnip and chestnut soup that I made at the beginning of the year out of the freezer for lunch. I'd forgotten how nice it is - but typical me - I can't find the recipe now!

All positive thoughts Amy...…….
I love all lentil based soups/dals especially with warming grated ginger in the mix.

Re: Soup
That sounds good Amy.
Yesterday I made a roasted butternut squash and red onion soup and added the half bottle of pasata I had in the fridge. I turned out to be more of a veloute than a soup but it was very yummy.

Re: Soup
Actually it is Felicity’s recipe but minus the matzo. Cumbria is hardly a place for such sophistication.
Re: Soup
Amyw - I made your suggestion of Ottolenghi's lentil soup today - I loved it and as you say, it's very filling. I used 400ml of coconut milk rather than 250 as in the recipe - because I only had a 400 ml can and didn't want to waste any. I reduced the water accordingly. Next time I make it, I might add some grated ginger and possibly a bit of garlic.

Nigel Slater's sweetcorn chowder tonight.
V nice, quite sweet as expected but the pancetta topping helps.

Re: Soup
I fancied some Cornish Pasties, and was going to get a swede for 80p each, but Tesco had a "stew pack" of veg with a swede, a huge parsnip, 5 carrots and an onion for 75p, so it went straight in my bag, especially as I needed carrots anyway. As I went through the till, the cashier said - "Ooh, I used one of those to make soup for my dad coz he's ill, it was really good."
When I got home I thought again about making Cornish Pasties, as there is so much fat in them, so today half those veg went into a generic veg soup anyway, made with milk rather than water as I've lots of spare milk. Other veg in it: garlic/celery/leftover shiitake from the filled buns/leftover half chilli from same/half a potato I found in the fridge. Made three portions. Caraway sprinkled on it.
And one of my steamed buns!

Re: Soup
Pumpkin soup. Bought a small pumpkin for 65p, thought I'd have a go. I know the basics of soup making, but don't fancy peeling a pumpkin so will roast it, after removing seeds etc.
30 minutes roast OK? Then do I scoop out the flesh to add to the stock or cook it all together? We've got a magimix so whizzing up isn't a problem.
Thanks.

Re: Soup
I make a roasted pumpkin and tomato soup. I just slice up the pumpkin not bothering to remove seed. Put in a roasting tin with a couple of half onions - red if I have them, Depending on the amount of pumpkin 2 or 3 large tomatoes halved. Sprinkle with olive oil and season then roast at about 180C for about 45 minutes until the pumpking is soft. Allow to cool a bit then scoop out the seedsand then the flesh and put it into a pan with the tomatoes and skinned onion add stck to cover and cook until everything id soft before blending. I usually use a stick blender to save washing up.
You can toast the seeds in a frying pan to use as a garnish.

Gosh, that takes me back. My Grandma lived in a huge Victorian house and cooked on a range until the 1970s. She nearly always had a pot of pea and ham soup on the go and the kitchen always smelled wonderful - it was usually the first port of call when we visited. Fabulous memories!
