It's cold, so time for a soup thread...

[Pupp]

This one's good - split pea with crispy bacon/chorizo

Fry up some rough chopped onion, carrot and celery or mushrooms in a glug of olive oil - about 5 mins is right

Add a good load of washed yellow split-peas and some ham or veggie stock. Season well, bring to the boil and simmer for about 45 mins in a covered pan

Use the time to crisp off some bacon and/or chorizo

Use a hand blender to puree the simmering mix and serve over the top of the bacon/chorizo with a good sprinkling of cracked pepper - crispy bread to accompany

Next!

[Mobile Chicane]

Crispy fried onions / garlic / chillies on top (like a tarka for dal) with lumps of Cheddar cheese dropped in.

Some thick bread, buttered......


Like the sound of this, so will have to try it some time - www.sicilean.com/2011/09/ten-minute-tomato-soup.ht...

I found the interactive soup vids quite good. Definately recomend the tomato, red pepper and pesto.

Crunch up chicken sooper noodles, add chicken stock, chili powder, black pepper and smoked paprika. Boil as normal then add a bit more water for clear chicken noodle soup. Sounds a bit student food but tastes bloody lovely and takes seconds.

Surely a packet of ordinary noodles, with all the other ingredients is going to yield the same thing?
Why bother with the chicken flavour Super Noodles? - which don't taste of chicken flavour!

[Huntsman]

Curried parsnip soup! Slurp...slurp...

Quite like the flavouring and texture of them. Dead tasty.
