Sounds delicious and definitely restorative

Re: Soup
Back to soup making after a lull when I used various portions from the freezer. Today I cooked a panful of bacon, veg and yellow split pea.

Sounds delish LTC. I have a big bag of lockdown yellow split peas winking at me. Love bacon or pancetta in soups.
I had a little spate of soup making last week for some poorly relatives. Gill's tomato soup, my standby, then a thrown together inspiration - gently fried finely chopped onions, sweet potato cubes, squash cubes, chicken stock, leftover Elisa porcini roast chicken chunks, s&p etc - and then extra hot New Mexico green and red chile beef stew/soup.

Re: Soup
That sounds nice Suffs, we have a squash which I want to use up.
We make a similar sounding potato, celeriac and apple soup which is really really good with some stilton crumbled on top.

Re: Soup

Whizz in blender and serve.

Re: Soup

I no longer bother to make up Marigold for most purposes; I do measure both water and powder but then put them straight in, saves washing a jug. Cubes sometimes need making up
I’ve been working my way through a big pot of good old River Café winter minestrone, this one seems especially nice, which I put down to an unusually large Parmesan rind and one of the bouquets of fresh herbs I made up in tea bag papers and froze when herbs were at their best

Yes, me too, Sue, and I did it with a cube last time I used one and it was fine.
Something called "Russian Vegetable Soup" today - an onion, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and cabbage - but I subbed frozen spinach. Also parsley, dried mixed herbs and fresh grated nutmeg.
It was supposed to have a garnish of crispy fried leeks but I couldn't be bothered. It was delicious as it was. Because of the spinach it was green!
I rarely use soup recipes as such, but this was a good idea. I don't think I would have thought to add spinach/ cabbage/ kale, or nutmeg. (I always use nutmeg with spinach soup.)
It was the January 20th recipe from the New Covent Garden Food Co: A Soup for Every Day - 365 "of our favourite recipes".

Re: Soup
A simple carrot and coriander for lunch today, with HM bread.
Made by J while I had a horrendous morning at work.
Wasn't even supposed to be working today but someone went sick.

Re: Soup
Tomorrow will be red lentil and tomato soup for lunch, because I have all the ingredients.
We have an overstuffed fridge, freezer and cupboard so buying food is currently verboten.

Re: Soup
I made a very nice soup out of one whole leek and a load of green leek tops, a massive potato that was too big to bake in its jacket, a carrot, a stick of celery, garlic Marigold and seasoning, but the twist is I’m not blitzing it, all the veg are diced or shredded
