Soup on a cold winters day, waht could be more satisfying? My step-kids love soup and what a great way of getting them to eat vegetables. I am by no means a chef i just love food and love to cook it. I dont follow recipes to well infatc that is why i dont really do puddings. With puddings you have to follow recipes to get things to rise, set, thicken and so on and i am more of a shove it in and see what it taistes like, i like to experiment. If you have seen the film rattoulie then im more like that especialy when it comes to soups.

Whenever i make a new soup i never tell anyone what is in it, if i did then my fussy family would turn their noses up, so i wait until they have ate it all and they are pleasantly surprised.

If you are a soup lover then experiment with me, you wont go back to tinned soups afterwards!
