    As a great thickener for soups (pinched from the scots mince recipe) you can add a couple of tablespoons of ready break right at the start. (or very well whizzed porridge oats).

    If you overdo it, just add a little water towards the end, if you think it's still too thin - just leave the lid off for a while.

    You can add a floury potato to the soup, this will break up and thicken it

    I have a big bag of chard left over from the last veg box (nearly two weeks ago, so lasting well!). I don't fancy anything with it at the moment other than soup. I'm probably going to pop an onion, potato and veg stock in, and a little bit of carrot I have left, then the chard, seasoning, and whizz it away...

    Unless anyone knows better?...I can't see a chard soup recipe in the index, but if anyone has a tried and tested, I'd be glad of it!

    Not tried it yet, but I came across this one when I was looking for some ideas to use up some Pearl barley:

    Thank you people, I've Googled it, too, and I think I'm going to make it up as I go along, with some green lentils. I'll be blitzing it before serving...should be good. And my latest bread rolls are TO DIE FOR!!!!!! I'm on a real white bread kick at the moment, and I know it's not as good for us, but doesn't it go so well with butter and soup?!...

    Hey, you remember that Nigel Slater book that I wasn't even go to go and look at ;) ... well it just arrived on my doorstep about an hour ago! :whistle: :p :dance:


    Only had a quick flick through so far but it certainly looks good, and at less than half price you can't grumble :D
