Winter Soup Season - What is on the Menú ?

I make soup almost every week, sometimes more than once a week. Last week it was lentil, and today I've made good old-fashioned tattie soup.

Make it every week in wintertime today Scotch broth yummy!,

I just chuck random ingredients into the slow cooker and the soups are always nice. Yesterday I did a veg soup, stock, potatoes, red peppers, sprouts, carrots, celery and some herbs and spices. It turned out quite well

Over the last couple of weeks I have made a simple, but delicious soup.
4 carrots, 4 sticks of celery, 1 large parsnip, 1 large red onion and a tin of drained lentils. You could, of course use dried. 2 pints of stock. Season to taste. Chop vegetables, add with the stock to a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer. About an hour. Blend with a stick blender. Delicious and nourishing. I sometimes sprinkle grated cheese onto my bowl of soup.

Ours yesterday was yellow lentils, onion, carrot, swede, celeriac, turnip, parsley, one each chicken and veg stock cubes, chopped leek and cauliflower for the last few minutes only, plus some leftover cheese sauce from the other day.

I will have to make extra cheese sauce on purpose next time, it was an excellent addition!

Always good never the same

The only soup I make these days is Lentil + whatever veg is hanging about. Can’t be doing with anything requiring more than chucking it in the pan. Lasts me four days lunches at a time.

I regularly make red lentil soup too, especially in winter. No need to soak, just chuck in lentils, what veg is about or needs using, an oxo type cube, tin of tomatoes, garlic, sometimes add cannellini beans, or whatever you like. Season as you like. Cook slowly, lid on, stir occasionally and enjoy. Lasts us days or if we want can easily be frozen.

I won’t bore you with the recipe but if you are interested in googling, it was a Waitrose one.

I make gallons of soup.
We like Curried Parsnip, sweet potato and red pepper, bacon and red lentil, cream of tomato, broccoli and stilton, cheesy courgette. Last week I made a lovely soup from 7 vegetables.

Me too - Garbage Soup! Never tastes anything but delicious!

We had a mug of Baxter’s cream of tomato soup with our salad roll at lunch. It was delicious. Open the can, heat & serve. And no need to be eating the same soup for days on end …

Our friend is in a seasonal shooting club and has been providing us with pheasant recently. It makes excellent soup - a scotch broth type with barley and winter veg. Making the most of it as the season ends on 1st February.

I use whatever is in the fridge and needs eating , add stock cube ,onion- whatever I can find. My DH says " that was good will you make it again" The answer is no , because my soups are always different and depend on what left overs I have - he can't understand that!!

I usually make a mixed vegetable with either lentils or pearly barley, but I made a tomato and lentils one the other day which was really tasty.
1 x potato, carrot large, onion and tin of chopped tomatoes + 1 and half time of water and a small cup of lentils , (I actually used a ramekin) 2 stock cubes some chilli flakes and oregano , in the pressure cooker for 10 mins and blitzed . Also love butternut squash soup.

Roasted sweet potato, red pepper, red onion, celery, chilli, garlic, herbs, veg stock, seasoning - I think that was all.🤔 It was delicious.

Wow .. What a pleasant surprise to see so many participants today with scrumptuous soup recipes and ideas.

Thank you to Ladies.
Nice Sunday wishes.

I’ve got soup mix soaking for surprisingly enough soup mix soup which was a Lindsey Bareham recipe from the times long ago.ssometimes have a ham hock in the slow cooker but I did gammon last week and I’m using the leftovers.

This week it will be butternut squash soup, and celery soup, because those are what's hanging about in fridge.

The current favourite is Hamburger soup which, as its name suggests, is American. Basically minced beef, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes and potatoes, with beef stock, tinned tomatoes and bell peppers.

This weekend it was leek and potato, with some left over bacon and a bit of grated cheese. I love Pasta et Fagioli and Sweetcorn Chowder, but DS doesn't eat beans or sweetcorn.

Spicy parsnip is a big favourite of mine also sweet potato and mushroom.

It’s called Dustbin soup here (my mother coined that term) - whatever you’ve got/whatever needs using up.

Staples here include red or yellow lentils, pearl barley, sometimes orzo pasta, but always several different veg chopped small. Plus any leftovers, e.g. boiled or mashed potatoes, parsley sauce, that last, lonely, dried up rasher of bacon or slice of ham, etc.
I hardly ever make a blended soup. And there’s usually grated cheese to add.

Now and then I make a minestrone with a tin of chopped tomatoes, garlic, onion, celery, a tin of kidney or other beans, Italian herbs, stock cubes, pasta (obviously), sundry veg, and serve with grated cheese and garlic bread out of the freezer, assuming that we haven’t already eaten all the last batch.

Summa soup here: some ‘o’ this and some ‘o’ that, using up leftovers. Never the same; always good.
