I've been rather lazy recently with my soup maker recipes, mainly because I've had 2 weeks without a kitchen due to a refit PLUS i've found perhaps my most favourite recipe of them all that's filling as well as wonderful.

Simply - 300g of Mushrooms (white ones, a punnet from M&S is only £1)
Small RED onion
2 potatoes (making up to around 600g of 'solids')
Veg Stock

Bingo. A mushroom soup that's filling, doesn't taste boring but also is full of the best things possible.

Not if you're allergic to mushrooms.

in moving I lost my mother's treasured hand written recipe book which had so many fantastic recipes..especially for soup .

She was a wonderful cook. Her own Tomato Sauce recipe was just amazing.

Occasionally I make my soup equivalent of a Wall of Sound epic production:

Chicken stock, chopped carrots, chopped parsnips, chopped celery, chopped yellow, red and orange peppers, a little passata and a few tiny bits of cooked chicken breast. Season and then turn the soup maker on. 28 minutes later - the ultimate winter warmer that will fill you up for ages.

Thank God I think Winter is over tomorrow. Surely "winter" is November (I hate November) December, January and February. March and April are Spring. Summer (I love summer) is May, June, July, August. Autumn is September/October.

So Sunday, rabbits arrive aplenty; leaves return to trees; my roses should think about blooming in bulk again (some are still in flower). And chocolate eggs pop up in the Park.
