Soups.

I am just in the process of making a pea and ham soup, which is a particular favourite of my husbands. We will be having it later with some hot crusty rolls.
I don't make them all the time, just when the mood takes me. Himself is outdoors, getting rid of some ivy, so I thought I would treat him

Re: Soups.

I love home made soup Mall my favourite is Asparagus
I haven't made any yet this year, the little greengrocers shop I usually get the sprue from has closed down .

I make soup every week in the winter and freeze some. It makes a healthy tasty meal served with my home made wholemeal bread rolls.

I am sure your husband will be looking forward to his meal

Re: Soups.

I love home made soup as well and make (when I feel like it) Scotch broth and Chicken and barley broth (don't like rice in soup, so I use barley!)

Re: Soups.

He was hot, sweaty and hungry and he couldn't make his mind up wether to shower and shave before he had his lunch, or to have his lunch outdoors before showering.
I would not let him eat indoors in his sweaty condition

He opted to eat outdoors

I have never made Asparagus soup, so I will put that on my to do list.

Re: Soups.

Brandykins please can I have our receipe for Scoth Broth I can never get it to taste just right!

Sorry to jump in on your thead Mesco, I do admire you making your own soups they are so much tastier and healthier homemade. I am a big fan of soup especially with barley in it. Being from a big family and not very well off, my mother always made soup with leftover anything and always put either lentils or barley in, it lasted about a week with watering it down! As did her stews lol

Any recipes appreciated!

Re: Soups.

I often make soup on Fridays when Sheila has the morning out shopping with her one-time workmate, spicy parsnip is my favourite.

Re: Soups.

No need to apoligise Kath. The thread is all about soup anyway.

Re: Soups.

My youngest daughter makes her own soups and they are delicious. I used to make mine, but can't be bothered these days, so buy cartons of the stuff from the supermarket.

Re: Soups.

Considering the lousy weather, I decided to make a batch of Broccoli and Stilton soup. Very nice it is too, if I do say so myself
