HWK asked for Baked Bean Soup so I made a batch yesterday and that will be lunch with cold chicken for me and a scotch egg for him.

Supper this evening will be a vegetable curry of some kind ( will get the book out and decide later), a decent tarka dahl and some basmati rice, also a mint and cucumber raita. Cup of black coffee to finish.

Baked bean soup? You've intrigued me! Recipe?

Oh yes!

Baked Bean Soup Serves 4

2 x 400g tins baked beans (cheapest are fine)
1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
1 large onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
300ml chicken stock (vege if you are)
200g chopped cooking bacon( any vege bacon works too)
2 tablespoons Worcester sauce
2 x tablespoons olive oil

Heat the oil in a heavy based pan and gently fry the onion and bacon over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Blitz one tin of baked beans to a puree and add with all the rest of the ingredients to the pan, bring to a simmer and cook, covered stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.


It's much bigger as a flavour than the sum total of it's parts! Hope you enjoy it if you decide to make it.


I'm thinking you're vegan? and it works well with the vege bacon, I've used it to make this recipe too.

Have made a SC full of squash & chickpea curry (SW friendly). Will have it with brown rice.

Have also made a huge rice pudding with almond milk - really looking forward to it as not had for a very long time.

OOOh I'd love the recipe for the squash and chickpea curry please. It sounds lovely!

Not really a recipe at all!

Just fry off some onions, garlic & ginger and once softened sprinkle over a couple of tablespoons of curry powder (I make my own mix but you can use a commercial one). Once the curry powder starts to smell aromatic add the chopped squash, tinned tomatoes & some stock or water (I usually use a veg oxo dissolved in hot water). Don't add too much if you're cooking it in the SC as I did. About an hour before the curry is ready add a tin or two of chickpeas and leave to finish off.

If you want to do it on the hob you won't need to cook for so long and the chickpeas can be added 10 minutes or so before the end.

We had homemade chicken biryani, with homemade raita and onion bhajis tonight at the request of DD. Shop bought poppudoms though.... my cooking skills don’t stretch that far.

Dinner tonight for me will be a simple one. Either scrambled egg on toast or cheesy beanos.
