Everyone has pots of soup on.....

[Dris]

according to my local FB mates:)

Funny how its the first thing you do when the weathers miserable.

Ive got split pea ,veg and chopped up franfurter soup on and it smell delish:)

Tattie and leek seems to be the fave so far....

Anyone else make soup for comfort/warming food and what do you make?

[tiggerblue10]

Have you been taking idea's from Gillian McKeith Mr Sp. Ed?

My favourite soup is broccoli and stilton with croutons and its quite easy to make.

my fave winter soup recipe... 1 large leek, 3 medium size carriots, a large peice of pumpkin/buttersquash, 4 medium size spuds(any variety), plus a generous handful of lentils and brown rice. saute the lot except the greens of the leeks in a large pot, add 3 pints water, or stock, 2 tsps marmite(optional), boil, simmer, when carrots are soft, add large handful of fresh or frozen spinach, turn off heat/gas, put lid on. and leave for 1/2 hr, might need to add more water, as i can be quite thick. enjoy. better of course the next day.add salt and black pepper.

jd -did a quick google and look what i came up with

http://www.jewishpenicillin.com/

Never heard it called that before but apparently its a common phrase for it....

[Dris]

I know youre hurting -but you did your very best x

Invictis -not a clue can you expand in case I missed the joke?

[jd_1984]

Dris - wow there is some truth behind it. I remember my nan insisting on us eating chicken soup if we had a cold but it was never explained why

[Invictas]

A giant pot of soup with a man in it?(Nice and beefy) and
probably just because all the men I meet end up in the soup!LOL

[Dris]

Same here jd -so it might not just be an urban myth after all.

Aw right Invictis :)

[jd_1984]

That generation knew what they were talking about. These days there are aisles full of cold and flu remedies, but the chicken soup and head over a bowl of hot water and olbas oil was my nans choice sollution

[Dris]

How true jd plus they didnt have the luxuries we have -maybe we are too soft now..
