Recipes for Soups

Considering it’s still so blinking cold out there, I thought I’d share some of my favourite soups with you all. They’re great for lunch or a main meal. We like ours served with a fresh, crispy French loaf, straight out of the bread-maker. No bread machine? Fear not! Pop into the bakers and grab a loaf for approximately a £1, or Tescos’ ‘Finest’ range of breads are yummy. These soups are healthy and surprisingly filling, and a brilliant way to take ...
...Some are faster to prepare than others, but they are all definately worth it in the end! TOMATO SOUP ---------------------------- You will need: 8 large tomatoes 1 ½ pints of water salt and pepper to taste 2 tea spoons of sugar 2 tea spoons of Worcester sauce (not Cross and Blackwells at the moment!) ¼ pint of milk 1 table spoon of cornflour Place the tomatoes and water in a large pan, and bring it to the boil. Let it simmer for twenty ...

Since December 2006, I have been dieting. It's been successful (two stone gone), but I swear I could swim in all the soup I've eaten over the past six months. I have soups for lunch (from Eat), soups and broths for dinner (home-made) and soup in my dream. I find soup is an excellent diet aid, as they are (usually) hot, and so take a while to eat, thus making one feel fuller for fewer calories. Because I eat so much soup, I am always on the lookout ...
...mother in the States; she's also (sort of) dieting. My mother spotted a recipe in the New York Times, so I cut it out, and brought it home. And there the transformation from the printed page to my stomach via my brain and improvisation begins. The list of ingredients is long - don't let that put you off. Whilst it is a little time consuming, it's not difficult. Because I am dieting, I weighed everything I used - hence the specificity of the quantities. ...

When I buy a whole salmon if it's on special offer, I get the assistant to put the head, bones and all the trimmings etc in a separate bag. After all, you are paying for the whole salmon - so why discard it when you can make use of it? I get the main part of the salmon cut into roughly 2 inch slices and usually get between 10 - 12 portions. The cost according to the size of the salmon is usually between £9 - 12. When you think that on average, ...

...that if I'm stealing her recipes that the least I can do is to say shame on you if you use a stock cube and that your soups just won't taste the same if you do, no sir. Even I make the stock first (if I haven't been able to steal any from the cauldrons she makes it in that is), so yes, shame on you if you cheat. So there. Right, on to the soups.

~Spicy Butternut Squash Soup~ This is a really easy recipe for soup, it is very healthy and is zero points if you are on weight watchers. It tastes delicious and is a lovely burnt orange colour and quite thick in texture. I love the taste it is sweet and spicy. Butternut squash is a very nutritious food source that is rich in complex carbohydrates and low in saturated fat and sodium. It is a very good source of vitamins A and C and a good source ...
...only downside to this soup is the butternut squash turns your hands bright orange when you are peeling and chopping it, it is also quite fiddly scooping out all the seeds and middle bit and the squash is hard to cut up. It is well worth the effort though it is delicious and as I said earlier no points if you are on Weight Watchers so you can have as much as you like. ~Ingredients~ 1 small butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped 1 onion chopped ...

Having lost the bap recently and somewhat cavalierly declared that I had a recipe (not for dog, as the picture top-left might lead the gentle reader to believe!) for pumpkin soup that I would be willing to share, I find the time has now come for me to put my money where my mouth is and share the recipe that I have used for the last number of years to ensure that our annual family pumpkin carving antics resulted in minimal waste and maximal return ...
...origins of this recipe, and it is one that I have modified over the years to suit the young mouths in our household - those that can instantly express a dislike of something without even looking at, smelling, or tasting it, if you get my meaning ;o) This requires the remnants left over after carving fresh pumpkins to make Jack o'Lanterns, so don't unnecessarily go out of your way to buy a pumpkin to cut and dice for this recipe... but do engage ...

CULLEN SKINK Skink is an old Scottish word for soup. It is a very traditional fish soup which originated in the small fishing village of Cullen, on the Moray Firth, in Scotland. It can be varied by adding bacon, vegetables or using a mixture of smoked and white fish. Once every year - usually in August - hubby and I take our touring caravan to the Moray Firth coastal village of Findochty (it's known as Finechty to the locals) for a week or so. ...

...that there were still some recipes for free soups in the new programme. I didn’t fancy some of the chunkier soups and was looking for something a bit lighter and I happened upon a recipe for Butternut Squash and Red Pepper Soup.
