Awesome! What about some leek and potato soup?

Are you meal planning ahead or going to wing it day by day? Just to see how we can help you best..... I can always look up links for how to use gluts of each of those veg, but i don't want to throw links at you if it doesn't help (if that makes sense?)

my oh tends to call them a snack/starter tho lol! your oh going to the butcher reminds me of my oh, defo something he would do . . . . actually he would probs go way over budget & come home needing more money

chaos-is-home

my oh at times has gone over with money but he soon learnt when he spent the night in his shed. bsprout and carrots are the only one im struggling to think f uses for. the chicken roulades look yummy.

What a nice neighbour you have, hope you have room to store it all.

chaos-is-home

the neighbour is an elderly man with no family unfortunately so my lo often goes round to play and keep him company. lo calls him grampy.

zippychick

Then you want

Spruce up your sprouts & oodles of carrots

What about bacon lentil and carrot soup?

chaos-is-home

oooooh that soup sounds yum

zippychick

Ok - my method would be to throw some butter/oil in a pan. Fry some chopped up bacon for a few mins, then add some onions (and garlic if you wish). Cook a few mins, then add chopped/sliced carrots and coat with the oils/onions flavours etc. Throw in some lentils and add some stock - bring to the boil and then simmer for an hour or two. I don't really do quantities and would make soup by eye if that makes sense.? SOme people add tinned toms to their lentil soup - i wasn't brought up with lentil soup with toms in so i just add stock/water. Oh and i use orange lentils .

Delias recipe is here but has more faffier ingredients (what i call faffier anyway) , or there is a lentil soup thread here
