I don't use a soup-maker, just a big stockpot but one of my favourites is an easypeasy lentil and bacon soup.

400g red lentils
1 chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
250g bacon lardons - dry cured bacon if possible.
Vegetable or chicken stock
Ground pepper to taste.

When it's cooked, I whiz it smooth in the blender. Any excess freezes well. Smakelijk!

Hello lovely Grans - I know there will almost certainly be a thread about this - but I wanted to start a new one so I can have a bit of a 'chat' - so blimmin lonely WFH - especially when it is freezing and raining and I can't get out for a lunch time walk.

Watching my weight - so had my usual meat sandwich in a warburtons thin - and decided to get the soup maker out. Made a smooth veggy soup which I am slurping as I type and it's not bad - but I am sure I can do better - with your help

My ingredients are what I found in the veg box and freezer - carrot, swede, onion, leeks and cauliflower and a chicken stock cube - threw in some dried mixed herbs for interest

So come on Grans, inspire me.........
