Magical Mystery Soup

I think February will be Soup Month at the Callistemons as we have lots of bags of last year's veg lurking in the freezer and we both need to lose a few lockdown pounds.
I can never understand how people manage to go on a diet in January - we always seem to have cake, chocolates etc lingering around from Christmas.

And February is a shorter month.

We have bitter soup in our house - it has a bit 'o' this and a bit 'o' that in it

That sounds yummy! I’m tempted to grate some cheese and onion on purpose.
Your Magical Mystery soup sounds a lot more exciting than my similar - known in the family as ‘dustbin’ soup.
We do often have grated cheese on top though.

I used to make Fisherman’s Soup for my family with bits and bobs I could find in the fridge. I called it that because you had to fish around to see what food you could find - never had any fish in it!

I found a bag of grated cheese in the freezer and used that.
Ps I think it was Cheddar

Magical Mystery soup is a staple in our house.

It sounds delicious. I love homemade soup.

When I make soup I always add the rind off the Parmesan, in fact I save them for soups, delish?

Sounds lovely watermeadow

Your “cauldron” sounds yummy, watermeadow. I’m not a spontaneous or imaginative cook. So I admire those who are .....well done !!

No - you haven't invented it watermeadow!

I thought I'd make broccoli and stilton soup as I found a bag of forgotten broccoli and cauliflower at the back of the freezer.
Then I realised I had no Stilton but I found a bag of grated cheese in the freezer and used that.

It was very good soup.
