Trying to think of a different starter for New Year apart from seafood . One person is veggie one does not like salmon so I thought about sorbet with a bit of fruit. My granchildren think this is really weird as they regard sorbet as a pudding . Sometimes we have mozarella stacks for the veggie ones . Any ideas I have a full house on the 1st. and the second . Living in Scotland we have steak pie on the 1st . which is traditional plus a trifle ( traditional no jelly ) for one of the puddings. Second day is a leg of lamb.

Well I ended up giving my guests the choice of two soups . One was potato and leek with my secret ingredient a tin of evaporated milk . Before you think this is strange try it . My grandchildren love and and say their mum cannot make this soup like their gran . The other soup was Armenian Soup which I have not made for years. This was from a Cranks recipe book and great for vegetarians here is the recipe . do beware this soup will stick to the base of the pot if you do not stir it often . I made double

Armenian Soup
2 oz. washed red lentils
2 ounces dried apricots
1 large potato
2 pints vegetable stock
juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon cumming
sparse half teaspoon of dried basil
seasong to taste

Place the lentil in a pan, chop the potato and the apricots and add to the pot with the rest of ingredients.Simmer for 30 minutes then allow to cool then blend together. Reheat carefully.
