Make some miso soup, Neil--dead easy to do. There should be millions of recipes on-line. Lovely with wakame and tofu.

yum, i love soup.
Here are my favourite easy ones.

Tomato soup -
chop (i stick it all in a food processer)
one onion, two celery sticks, one carrot and a sweet potato.
Fry gently till it all softens a bit.
Add two cans of tomatoes and about one can of water and simmer till its all cooked.
Blend it, add salt and pepper and its done.
Its so good, seriously.

Or, smoked haddock chowder:
Gently fry a chopped leek and a carrot. Then add cubed potato, some milk, water and chopped dill. Simmer for 5 minutes then add some smoked haddock. Simmer another 5 minutes or so. Thats it. Its good with sweetcorn in it too.

Which is tastier, would you say?

Which is tastier, would you say?

Very hard to say, as the first recipe contains all physical things and is very difficult to taste from the inside, the second is much more oniony.

***Broccoli & Leek soup

***Gently fry some onions until golden. Add the leeks and halved or quartered broccoli for 3-5mins seasoning with: a little salt, pepper and any other herbs or spices that you like (I think coriander or nutmeg is good). Add some flour.

I like roasted tomato soup... it can make average watery tomatoes taste like proper tomatoey ones.
Peel tomatoes / pepper before roasting or sieve the skin bits out afterwards... old boiling water trick.
Slow roast lots of tomatoes, some red pepper (both seasoned with salt and pepper), and few cloves of garlic. ( I do it for a couple of hours on low heat, but 40 mins. at regular heat is identical, just less boastworthy.)
Peel garlic cloves.
Blend it all.
Add basil, salt, pepper, anything else you like to taste. I like spice, so paprika.

mmmmmmmmmmm............
(Sorry I am rubbish with quantities.)

Angry Red Lentil Tortilla Soup
serves four

4 6" flour tortillas
4 tbsp olive oil
1/2 C onions, minced
1/2 C carrots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 Habanero pepper or a few red chilies, minced
1 Cup red lentils
4 Cups water
2 tbsp dry chives (homemade)
Cheese, grated
Lime wedges
salt & fresh-ground pepper to taste

Leave tortillas out a few days at room temperature to allow them to dry out and become crisp.
Place saucepan on the stove on medium to medium high heat.
Olive oil goes in pan.
Sauté onion, carrot, garlic and pepper/chillies until it caramelises in the pan.
Add your red lentils and toast for a half minute or so.
Add the water and cover the saucepan with the lid.
Cook the soup for 15 minutes, stirring three times to keep the lentils from sticking then add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Mash lightly.
Rip up the tortillas and place in the bottom of a serving bowl or cup.
Place your soup over the tortillas and garnish with the chives and cheese and a wedge of lime.

Place everything in an object.
You have a filthy mind.

not so much a soup but...
bulgar wheat, red quinoa, normal quinoa, millet boil them all up together
cook some cous cous separately
mix with box/can of chopped tomatoes and some herbs.
simple ,fast and damn filling.

I found that i really like nettle soup,
Ingredients:
[INDENT]1 lb potatoes
½ lb young nettles
2 oz butter
1½ pts chicken or vegetable stock
sea salt & black pepper
4 tablespoons sour cream[/INDENT]Method:

Cook the peeled, chopped potatoes for 10 mins in salted water. Drain.
Wash & chop coarsely the nettles (Only pick the new, young tops,using gloves!)
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the nettles and stew gently for a few minutes. Add the potatoes and heated stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until tender.
When all is soft, cool slightly & purée in a blender, adding seasoning and the sour cream.

but make sure you pick nettles that are away from a place a dog or drunk could piss

Now is the time for picking young nettle tops and wild garlic.....

Yes
its nice with some crusty homemade bread to preferably fresh and hot

oh shit I'm going to have to make some now

It has to be done.... can be frozen as well... i used to make it in massive quantities and freeze it in individual bags. Great with some tabasco as well.

Made the Chorizo and roasted pepper soup yesterday- it was very nice.

I may have to up the ante in terms of protein and fat content however, as pre-accident I was 79.8 kilo's, and as of this morning I am 76.7 kilo's...

I made nettle soup last year and it was one of the nastiest things I've ever eaten

Surely there's plenty of fat in chorizo? Maybe try adding cream to it :)

4 large leeks, 1 onion, 2 medium potatoes

Fry onion till brown (use butter) add chopped leeks till transparent the chopped spuds and cover with hot water

variations include the use of 3 leeks, addition of fenugreek, chives or add feta cheese at the end to let it melt.

the best i have ever had was butternut squash, ameraetto and truffle oil. haven't got time to write it out but you got enough time to trial by error it.

with all soups serve with** really thick slabs or crispy** bread.. its this bit that really makes it ;)
