Soup

We are coming back into the winter and I love a good bowl of soup to warm the cockles of ones heart. I was wondering if anybody has any tasty recipies ... nothing extravagant .. I have a general rule, If I can't prepare and cook it in 20 minutes it don't get made. I will however admit to cheating by using those packets of pre-made liquid stock (tescos or Knorr)
A couple I already know off (excuse my ultra precise measurements)
French Onion
1 carton of Beef stock
1 large onion (who cares if it is flamin french or whatever)
2 cloves garlic
Roughly chop onion, crush garlic and heat in a little oil until brown add stock, bring to boil and serve with lashings of cheesy garlic bread
Chicken Pasta
1 carton chicken stock
handful of frozen peas
handful of frozen sweetcorn
small carrot finely chopped
ready cooked sliced chicken (from Iceland ... or cook your own)
handful of pasta (whatever type you fancy)
Bring stock to simmer, dump everything else in, when pasta is cooked then serve. This one goes nice with wheaten bread. It is extra nice if kept overnight and a pint of vegetable stock added the next day as well.
I am currently working on a leek and potato and something that uses up peppers .. will post if they work out
