I just love my own home-made lentil soup-


1 cup of lentils


8 ham cubes


2 grated carrotts


1 large leak, chopped


Half a turnip


MmmmmmmmmmmmmWhats your best soup/ broth recipe.?
my favourite is pea soup it's great and full of goodness,


first soak 12oz of green split peas in 2 pints of water over night,


saute an onion in a tablespoon of sunflower oil,


add 2 medium carrots chopped roughly end cut off but skins left on and washed,


add the peas and the liquid and an extra 1 1/2 pints of water and a couple of vegetable stock cubes,


simmer uncovered for an hour, spoon off the scum at the start of boiling,


when done add 14oz of frozen peas return to the boil for 5 Min's


when done add 2 teaspoons of dried mint and a good shake of black pepper, now with a hand blender blend till smooth,


if to thick just add more water till it's to your licking make at least 8 portions that's 3 scoops of a ladle per serving.
This is good.

I often make my own minestrone but the simpliest soup I make is made from a can of Campbell's Cream of chicken. I empty the tin and add one can of water to it and then a small tin of Green giant sweet corn, one chopped green chilli...heat and then add the beaten yolk of an egg to it and a little soy sauce. When its all very hot add a sprinkling or tabasco sauce and a few coriader leaves. Its quick and tasty.
broccolli, potato, and leek, all mashed up into a thick consistancy and i little bit of blue stilton cheese.
spicy parsnip and apple , oh yeah!
Miso soup; it's made with Kombu (rather than Bonito shavings), water and miso. Add some tofu, green onions and a mushroom or two.
My broth is not a recipe. I throw in all the leftover veggies and raw meat parts (chicken necks and backs, shellfish shells and parts, beef bones, pork bones are the best) and the leftover spices and seasonings. I simmer until the house smells good and I freeze it.
