Just made my first soup!

And it was FABULOUS :j :j :j

It was a leek & potato using up the last of the christmas/new year veggies (rather than throw them, I thought I'd give soup a go!) and tasted absolutely wonderful.

It took less than an hour and there's plenty left over to take to work tomorrow for lunch - which will save me another £3 - and it can't have cost more than £1 for the whole lot :beer:

Well done you! :T :T :T

I've recently started making soup and did leek and potato myself - weird how they end up left in your fridge above anything else!

Keep it up, it's a very satisfying experience. :beer:

I made my first soup for Christmas Day and like yourself i made potato and leek soup... It was awesome.... Made some the next day with a red onion in it and slightly more black pepper... Delicious... Have to blend it up though as the kids don't like the bits but still so much better than tinned..... :j :j

well done!:T i made soup yesterday, partly because i had a fridge full of wilting veg from xmas and partly because im suffering from an overdose of chocolate and good living and need to curtail the intake of food i love making soup, theres something very homely about stood in a kitchen making it...reminds me of my mum i literally threw everything in mine including spring onions tomatoes garlic and ginger even a few potato peelings that oh was just about to throw away :j and it tasted delish i hope this is the start of many more soup making evenings for you, keep up the good work as soup is filling and so so cheap

That was another thing - I love peppery soup so it was nice to be able to add it all when cooking.

I added a sploosh of milk before blending and it became sooooo smooth...

Next I think I'm going to try sweet potato and butternut squash (i.e. left over from when I do a roast tomorrow night!)

I love this o/s money saving lark! :rotfl:
