Soups

[Gemini]

We have a soup maker which I use a lot, especially over the colder months. I generally just make my own soups up.
Sometimes I look up a recipe, just for the ingredients.

Today I decided to make parsnip and apple soup. I had bought some parsnips and we had a couple of apples from the tree lying around ( not a good crop this year, after a bumper one last year)
I added an onion, garlic, a carrot and a small potato. A Knorr veg stock pot, black pepper and some Chinese five spice .
I thought it was lovely. OH thought it was OK but she won't want any more tomorrow
All the more for me then!

Gem, I have made parsnip soup as well, I love pumpkin soup, in fact, will make that this weekend, I have a good recipe for tomatoes, first done in the oven then made into a soup with peanut butter, delicious!

That sounds good Lizzie.

It iOS time to get the soup maker out of the cupboard. I love butternut soup, lentil soup and a general veg. Soup

I don't think we eat enough soup to warrant getting a soup maker.
We probably only eat it once a week.
I like tomato soup and mushroom soup, which i always have in the cupboard.
Hubby likes vegetable soup,i don't.

I tend to make soup when I've got veggies that need using up and the weather's cold. Usually for lunch time. So mostly it's a case of throwing whatever we have in the pan and hoping for the best. Parsnip soup is a favourite though and I've made it with apples as well as lemons or even oranges.

Gem, I know you love your soupmaker and I often think about getting one, but I don't know if I would use it enough, and I'd also have to find cupboard space for it. I either make the soup and then use my Bamix to make it smooth or start by putting the veggies in the Nutribullet and then cooking them.
